       • It is a very sad story. My wife’s mother was the youngest of a family of 13. Her partners (my Wife’s Grandpaternets) were members of the Dutch resistance. In 1942 all 13 members of the family were sent to a Nazi internment camp.

         My wife’s mother was the only member that survived.
