Two photos of the deportation from Coesfeld on December 10, 1941, are known to exist. They were taken shortly after each other, probably within a minute, and show the group of persecutees in the Coesfeld castle park. Before being taken away by truck, they had to line up for a group picture. At that time, the park grounds were owned by the princely Salm-Horstmar family and were not open to the public. Nevertheless, the gate was unlocked on the morning of December 10, 1941, so that the park could serve as an assembly point for the deportees. It is conceivable that the photographer Anton Walterbusch, who had been commissioned by the local leadership of the NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutscher Arbeiterpartei / National Socialist German Workers’ Party), took further photographs that have not been preserved. The surviving images are available in different forms: one as a glass negative, the other as a modern print.

The two known photographs from the Coesfeld series are kept in two different locations. One is included in the estate of photographer Anton Walterbusch in Coesfeld Stadtarchiv (Coesfeld town archives) as an original glass negative. In the 1980s, it was also copied as a slide negative, which is held by the Coesfeld Denkmalbehörde (monuments/memorials administration). It is highly likely that Walterbusch gave the second picture as a print to the families of the survivors Gerd and Fred Hertz. Through the estate of the families living in New York, a print found its way to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where it is currently kept. Wilhelmine Süßkind, the only surviving person pictured, obtained a court order allowing the pictures to be reproduced for non-commercial educational and research purposes only.
