On July 18, 1945, he meets the Brilleslijper sisters who witnessed Anne and Margot’s deaths in Bergen-Belsen."

amélie Member	# Posted: 5 May 06 22:59 Reply talking about that subject, I wonder if Etty Hillesum's diary and letters are also well known and read in Holland (perhaps not as much as Anne Franck's, but who knows) ?
