Also, do you know their place of residence and a more precise time frame (as there might have been something in the newspapers)

I cant help on that all we know is reading letters we have found in our fathers stuff since he died.

Someone died in Auswitch so don't know if she was from this family.

Their house was bombed and they lost everything too but doesn't state if was the same time they were interned.

Our father was a catholic born the Hague 1912.

The address in the 1940s was (looks like) JOH.  CAMPLOYSTRAAT  or COMPLUYSTRAAT DEN HAAG

These might be useful for researching Auschwitz:

1 - The best possibility for the address seems to be the "Johannes Camphuijsstraat" in The Hague.

2 - Are you sure that the surname is "De Bies" and not "Bies"? "De Bies" is extremely rare and does not turn up at all in The Hague in the early 1900's

3 - At first  house arrest was mentioned and then Auschwitz, so I'm a bit confused about what you are looking for.

Not forgetting that the "ij" can also be written as "y"

I have a very distant link to a Sophie de Bie who was born in 1823 in Antwerp; she died in England.

There is Reina Bies who survived Auschwitz, but she was born in Amsterdam ...

[avotier]

Without getting the letters out it was either Jon De Bie  family or Hendrik his brother who was  interned.

There was a lady from the family who was in concentration camp don't know if that was the wife of the man who was interned.

My fathers name was Hendrik Leandert De Bie so I know it is the right surname.

These are why I want to check records get all the correct info.
