Karel Hendrik Raimond SINDORFF

Karel Hendrik Raimon Sindorff was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Europe) on 21 November 1911, deceased Apeldoorn 8 August 1985, being the fourth child, of his father Franciscus Raimond Henricus SINDORFF (1880-1952) and his mother Anna Maria HAGEMEIJER (1879-1970). Siblings were his older sisters Anna Hendrina Elisabeth Sindorff (1907-1992), Antoinette Caroline Maria Sindorff (1908-x), Maria Jacoba Francisca Sindorff (1910-1988) and his younger brother Frans Hendrik Jacob Sindorff (1916-x) enlisted at N.R.O.-National Register Deceased or I.T.S. nursed latest in Hattingen Germany for labor einsatz at gebr. Smitz.

The family lived during the time that the 1st World War, between 1914-1918, took place, even though the Netherlands was neutral, they may have experienced the effects, the 2nd World War between 1940-1945 did effect the family.

Birth certificate

At the age around 14, Karel had finished primary school and 2 years of craft school to learn how to timber and type and speak and write some English and German. He worked as ivory turner making billiard balls and worked in an office as clerk, growing up in Hoenderloo a tranquille village in the centre of the Netherlands that Karel enjoyed. The family moved to Amsterdam and Rotterdam, were Karel was born, for work.

Being 1,67m Karel was unfit for military service due to a heart decease at the age of 19. In a record, later, it was read that in the process of an the exchange of a real estate property Karel was accused of guilt as his skin inflamed, by rosacea, which is triggered by son, sport, wine, coffee, thee, spicy food, cheese, stress, warm bath, allergies, skin treatment, parfum, smoking, but not by unfair business practices, which did however led to the final end of his career, family and health.

Before this time, in 1931, Karel was granted to trade and travel as manufacturer for men sock's, and women's stockings at the age of 20 from Amstelkade 131 (huis) in Amsterdam. Successful or not, Karel decided to set up a garage and taxi company in the Albert Cuypstraat 264-I in Amsterdam. Below Albert Cuypstraat in Amsterdam in 1941 and his son Hermanus Theodorus Sindorff.

May 1940 German invasion in North Holland and by the end of 1940 Karel passed a real estate brokers degree, later a doubtful training company that merged, with in total 3 providers, into NVM, the Dutch Real Estate Association, at the age of nearly 30 years old, became sworn broker, fined and expelled, from his own company called Het Makelaarshuis K.H.R. Sindorff with extensive and complicated management.

Early in the war it was unknown to the public that the Jews were being destroyed in the camps.

With the benefit of hindsight, this degree was a bitter choice, if already a choice, as Karel should not have gotten involved in real estate during the war had just sold his garage eager to invest. This sale would allow Karel to invest in his new business. In September 1939 the war started in Poland, The Netherlands was occupied by May 1940, when the German army invaded the Netherlands.

During the occupation, more than a hundred thousand Dutch Jews were murdered in concentration camps. Some Dutch people resist, also in (not) buying Jewish property, but most are passively anti-German. Karel however became notorious involved, willingly or not, kept standing during horrific deportations and public murder while trading with and in between the Jewish Community and management for German nazi's and survived this unheard of and unforeseen genocide.

The Jewish assets were expropriated in1942 without any compensation but a few hundred Dutch florin and sold to Karel. It is imaginable that not all people knew about that.

Karel reported stolen bicycle 6 May 1942

According to the Dutch Management Institute (N.B.I.) records Karel may have admitted that it would have been better to have told that the transaction of an expropriated property was previously Jewish, 3000 houses were managed and sold by Everout, a NSB real estate agent who later has been conflicted in 1946 for 12 years and expelled from his occupation, houses that Karel also bought on auctions and managed or sold as his own.

October 22, 1940 introduction of Regulation 189/1940 reporting obligation for Jewish Enterprises. 11-08-1941 introduction of Regulation 154/1941, regarding obligation to report Jewish O.G.(real estate prop.)/land ownership to NGV. According to the Real Estate Prices Agency, areas 1096, 2469 letter dated February 19, 1944, a maximum price and price control applied based on: the law art. 2 paragraph 1 sub 2. Alienation decision on non-agricultural land 1942 (new) and art. 6 lid 1 rental price decision 1940 (new) and approval agreement on the basis of. art 8, void by judgment 30-11-1945 (N.J. 1946, no 49) in case of violation thereof. Ref. seat; No. 3939/1954-1955

In 1943, Ms. Koene and her partner Mr. F. Francesconi (from abroad) then owners who feared Jewish property being presented as non-Jewish property. They complained about this and about alleged private payments for Burmanstraat, Ruyschstraat and Nieuwendijk.

The Makelaarshuis K.H.R. Sindorff paid according to NGV ƒ 30,000, the maximum price at Burmanstraat 21+23 was ƒ 34,000 (letter broker Aarsman) (en Nieuwendijk nr. 19 ƒ 18.000,- in stead of ƒ 16.500,- court 28661) and violated this decision upon resale, at ƒ 40,000, was removed from his position 5 years (life), punished with a fine of NLG 100.000,- and ended up in the psychiatry department of the St. Joseph Foundation in Apeldoorn.

In 1998 an end report was published by the Dutch Government. "With regard to real estate, disputes have been settled through amicable recovery in more than 10,000 cases. It has not been shown that the restoration of rights with regard to Jewish real estate took place incorrectly'"

Karel bought a bankrupt real estate portfolio on auctions for the highest price, was chased by mortgage creditors, regularly changed his place of residence and was punished for not keeping the Code of maximum price, that may not have excised yet, on one occasion when buyers feared Jewish property, the couple that was causing him the rosacea attack.

If the rule was implemented in 1944 and the transaction took place in 1943, then it may appear a wrongful conviction and trade may have been reason for implementing the rule in 1944 being pre-convicted and the transaction meant to be invalid.

Karel was punished and fined with ƒ100.000,- /€ 45.380 now € 862.400,- in 2024, and expelled from trading in real estate not for 5 years, but for life. Being convicted the transaction however invalid. Was Government c.q. Karel capable predicting or anticipating any outcome? Was the word spread of an upcoming maximum price for selling property?

Karel also requested to be paid for drafting of a new housing contract, which was not allowed.

'The area opposite the airport in Eierland on Texel was a punishment camp shortly after the war for people who were on the wrong side of war. It took up more than three hectares and was called De Vlijt as detention and internment camp'. It was said that Karel has been there too. After the end of the war, the assignment was given to N.B.I., the Dutch Management Institute with national coordination, that took over and managed all the assets, including Karel's by foreclosure and selling or return of the housing stock before 1952. Karel required mental care, divorced was expelled and left a incomplete devastated family, a so many families during and after World War II. behind as Karel had been "trading in Jewish property".

At the psychiatric hospital the St. Joseph Foundation in Apeldoorn after the war Karel underwent electric shocks in the attempt to erase his memory. In one of the letters that he wrote, he expressed what a paradise it was and had his memory back.

Karel and his wife Helena Maria Cornelia Beekveldt and first child Hermanus Theodorus Sindorff lived on Albert Cuypstraat 264-I, later on Lohmanstraat 64hs, in Amsterdam, which was a previous Jewish property before Karel bought the house on an auction and was claimed back after the end of the war by the survivor family members, the previous family user committed self killing, which has happened to many Jews during the war, a group that is now recognized as a victim of the persecution, caused by unbearable stress, extreme fear and severe depression.

For Helena Maria Cornelia Beekveldt it came as a shock while opening the door since she, at that time, was insufficiently aware of the forced expropriation and or background of the property. The family left the house by court order and Helena Maria Cornelia Beekveldt became a single mother with 2 young children. Still suffering from hunger winter now lack of housing, food and shelter and with unimaginable destruction of human lives to this day for so many people during and after the war, survived.

Karel was buried in a communal grave on Heidehof in Apeldoorn and was cleared around 2022, reburied on verz.p15 Heidehof.

Radboud University in the Netherlands has recently, as of 2020, conducted research into the legal restoration of the expropriation of Jewish real estate and the buyers afterwards. This shows that in Karel's case, legal restoration took place before 1952 in almost all cases. In those cases that have not yet been foreseen, NBI manages the assets and Government also settled various times with the Jewish Community and the Jewish Monument provides a platform for surviving relatives or relatives until legal restoration has taken place. The genocide cannot ever be restored. The reports related to Karel hereunder published on the request of the municipal's spread over the Netherlands.

17) It looks like that the newspaper De Tijd in 1944 published more then the court had ordered (below) as the confiction of a penalty is related to a transaction with one (couple) customer and not to his overall work. Since this is used in 2020, one may conclude that publications last.

.."The sale of Jewish property passed in two steps. In 1941 Jews were require to report their homes at the Niederlandische Grundstuckverwaltung (NGV). NGV outsourced the administration to two organisations: ANBO en Nobiscum, who were authorised to 'alienate' properties on behalf of NGV. To conceal the origins, the property was, via the notary, sold to a stooge.- Why? It seems that Karel, who also traded for the Jewish community, did not make sufficient distinction between regular trade and trade at auctions. Was it known at the time of the offer that it concerned Jewish property or could he have suspected this? If so, what regulations applied to voluntary, forced or bankruptcy sales at auction? There was no trade ban, but a price control law followed afterwards - On Deed 1 the Jewish owner was enlisted on Deed 2, sold by the intermediary or straw man, to a private individual, without the Jewish origin. The notary collected twice for passing the deed.
