    One of the biggest murderers and robbers, who earned millions on Jewish misfortune. Helped to pull Jews into the 'ring of death', promising them a chance of rescue, which was supposedly possible if they gave him, of their own free will, the tools and raw materials they used for work, and which they managed to keep so far. Jews had to pay additional money in jewelery and cash. It gave them an opportunity to become slaves (out of their own free will) in his workshops. They worked until the moment when Toebens, using the first opportunity, allowed for them to be taken away and killed so that he could sell the same post for the second time.
