Did he die in '40 or '43?[edit]

The article, as written, says both. A2Kafir 21:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He died in 1943. I corrected the year and gave the actual date, with some extra information.RFB 22:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also corrected an error. The publishing house founded in 1915 published books in Dutch and was not called "Querido Verlag" ("Verlag" is German, meaning publisher). Querido Verlag was a separate publishing house founded in 1933, which specialized in publishing German writers in exile in their own language. RFB 22:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surname[edit]

His surname seems very Iberian, anyone know the origins of this? Name change, foreign relatives, Habsburg-era relic? Arthurian Legend 01:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The surname is Iberian. The ancestors of many Dutch Jews were Sephardics who came in the 16'th and 17'th century from Spain and Portugal, first in the era of Phillips II. Should a statement be added? 169.232.156.101 01:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Half (well, maybe exaggerated, but a large percentage) of the upper class of pre WW2 Amsterdam was of Sephardic Jewish descent. --User:Krator (t c) 16:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
