Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and the Netherlands’ diplomatic network in the US for a virtual screening and discussion of Truus’ Children, a new film from Dutch filmmakers Pamela Sturhoofd and Jessica van Tijn. The documentary explores the remarkable legacy of Truus Wijsmuller, who saved the lives of 10,000 children during World War II. As it tells Wijsmuller’s story, the film also probes the question of why Wijsmuller has been largely forgotten in the 75 years since the World War II.

Thanking a World War II veteran

We are forever grateful for the help we received during World War II and always look for ways to personally thank the veterans who were there.

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to thank Don Bertino, who was drafted into the Army in 1943 and fought in the Battle of the Bulge, at the Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation in Fayetteville, N.C., by reading to him a letter of gratitude from a Dutch teenager.

Thank you, Mr. Bertino, and all your fellow servicemen and women, for helping liberate us so that we can again live in freedom.
