Dutch Resistance

[Murray]

Hanno thank you very much for your response, I am sure my friends will appreciate it I know I certainly do. I will ask them about scanning the certificates. I will also try and clarify the relationship although I believe Theodorus was my friend's Uncle.

I apologize for the delay it posting the images of these certificates. My friends live in another city, so we were not able to get together again until this weekend. Here is the first one.

I recently came across a book about a Dutch family's experience during the war. Called "The Occupied Garden" it relates the story of a farmer (soldier) raising a young family during the Occupation and their subsequent emigration to Canada. It is available in Canada at major booksellers and through Amazon.ca.

The web page for the book is:

It has just been published in the Netherlands as well with the title "De Kinderen van de Tuinder."
