TOURING EXHIBIT

"We knew during the thirties that Jews were beginning to come from Germany to cities in Holland. Then, in 1940, Rotterdam was bombed and many children who had no homes were sent out to people all over Holland. We took one of these children. He stayed a year, and after he left a woman came to the house to talk with Janke...she asked if we would take another child. Janke said 'yes' right away, but then the woman said, 'It's a Jewish child.' Janke said, 'Oh, I'll have to talk it over with my husband.'

Bobby had a little sister, one and a half years old. I snooped around and found that she was with a woman who wanted to give her up because she was too scared. So, I talked it over with my wife and we decided to take her." Joe DeVries
