One of them has the initials incorrectly stated: it must be S.E. being Lifschitz.
Salomon Eleazer Lifschitz was the only Jewish student at the secondary agricultural school in Groningen. On 10 July 1942 he was arrested and taken to Westerbork, from where he was deported to Auschwitz. There he died at the age of 20, on September 30, 1943.
