Dzjohen, thank you for your comment on my post about the events of April 11, 1945. I’d love to hear more from you because we are related! Your great-grandmother Hiltje was my grandmother’s sister (I think that’s right!). I know Johan was my father’s first cousin. That visit to the Netherlands in the late 70’s was so special. My father talked about visiting Johan and Klaske for years afterward.
