Scheveningen


February 29, 1944

When we got to the place that we were taken, the Gestapo asked everyone for their information. The people were seperated by gender...Father was left with Willem, and I went with Betsie and Nollie. I was placed in a cell with three other women. One of these women had spent three whole years at Scheveningen. I had left all of my prison stuff at home so I was left with nothing.
I am very thankful, though, that one lady gave me a bible and soap. I was physically clean and spiritually clean :) I heard the news that, after over 47 hours, all six in the hiding place were rescued at about 4:30 PM and were taken to new safe houses.
Father died at age 84 on March 9th.
