Art, thanks for pointing out those wonderful citizens who did such good, as Karmen put it. There are many good stories about the resistance in Holland, but for good measure I think we should not forget there was "The Other Side" as well. These are historical facts, and we have to take them into account. It helps to put the tremendous efforts of people like you in the right perspective: it was most certainly not done for nothing.
Thank you, sir!

Hanno
