Excerpt from Doetinchem in Oorlogstijd: Vijf Jaar Duitse Bezetting in Doetinchem en Gaanderen, 1996

Photocopies of pages 72-74 of the Dutch book Doetinchem in Oorlogstijd: vijf jaar Duitse bezetting in Doetinchem en Gaanderen (Doetinchem in Wartime: Five Years of German Occupation in Doetinchem and Gaanderen), which include photographs of Eva Berlijn van Coeverden, Abraham Berlijn's sister, and her husband, Leo van Coeverden, in 1940. A 1942 photograph shows Eva with their daughter, Julieke. In March 1943, the family was arrested and taken to Westerbork, a transit camp, where they found Leo's parents. In May 1943, all five were deported by train to Poland, where they were killed in the Sobibor extermination camp. While aboard the train, Leo van Coeverden managed to write a postcard to friends explaining their situation and asking for help, which he threw out of the train. The postcard was found and delivered, a copy of which is included in the book and photocopied here.
