Eva and Abraham's story was first published in 1988 by Teake Zijlstra, a journalist at the Leeuwarder Courant. The children's father and mother survived the Holocaust they were not told of their children's deaths until after the war. Eva was 11 years old and Abraham was 9 at the time of their deaths. The children were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and gassed to death immediately upon arrival. In February 1944, four Dutch policemen raided the home where the children where being housed, and after forcing Abraham to undress to reveal that he was circumcised, arrested them. ![]() They found that some people were willing, in return for payment, to reveal hiding places of Jewish children. They were given new identities: Abraham was given the name Jan de Witt and Eva was Linni de Witt.They attended the local school, and were able to send letters (albeit in code) to their parents.īy 1944, the Nazis realized that Jewish children were being sent into hiding in rural villages. Eva and her younger brother Abraham were sent to the town of Ermelo to live with a Christian family. The Beem parents, realizing that they were in danger, decided to go into hiding. When Nazi Germany invaded the country in 1940, the Nazis started to separate the Jews from the general population and prohibited them from working. Jacobjen was born on October 26 1816, in Schoterland, Netherlands. Both parents were Jews, and active in the Jewish community. Abraham Johannes van Beem was born on month day 1840, at birth place, to Abraham Anthonie van Beem and Jacobjen van Beem (born Verschuil). Their father, Hartog Beem, was a German teacher, and their mother was Rosette Beem. They were both born in Leeuwarden, Holland. They were gassed to death upon their arrival on 6 March 1944.īiography Eva (born ) and Abraham (born 13 June 1934) Beem were born in Leeuwarden, in the northern Netherlands.

Nine year-old Abraham was denounced as a Jew in February 1944. They found collaborators willing to turn them in for payment. The Nazis, realizing that many Jewish children had been sent into hiding, intensified their search. He was known as Jan de Witt, and he attended school along with the other village children. Abraham was given a new name and identity. Abraham and his older sister were sent to the village of Ermelo, and a Christian family, willing to risk death to save them, was found. They felt that the children would be safer posing as non-Jews in a rural village. They were first taken to transit camps, and from there to death camps in Poland, where they were murdered.Ībraham's parents decided that the family would go into hiding. Beginning in mid-July 1942, the Germans began rounding up Holland's Jewish citizens. Many Jews were forced into restricted ghetto areas in July 1941, and after May 1942, all Jews had to wear the yellow star. ![]() But the Germans reacted brutally, and were able to break up most organized resistance. At first, the Dutch population resisted the anti-Jewish measures enacted by the Germans. The rich became poor and the middle class was reduced to subsistence levels. Beginning in October 1940, they liquidated Jewish businesses and banned Jews from most professions. When the Germans invaded, they immediately embarked upon steps to separate the Jews from the rest of the population. The Jews of the Netherlands were well-integrated into the general population and they were active in all aspects of the country's social, cultural and economic life. Abraham's father was a high school teacher in the small city of Leeuwarden, in northern Holland. Abraham, the son of Hartog and Rosette Beem, was a five year-old schoolboy when the Germans invaded Holland in May 1940.

but as long as you got a decent vacuum, and do it regularly. if you get a cheap vacuum, you can vacuum all day every day and never get the stuff out, which means it is not a sufficient vacuum to do the job needed full stop. (There are a few bagged ones that clean well, but mostly lose on filtration, noise and durability.) I'm not totally convinced that most of the bagless Wal-Mart specials do, though. Good mid-priced machines - Carpet Pro uprights, Riccar/Simplicity entry-level stuff, etc - do that well enough in general. So yeah, you don't necessarily need the maximum power every time, but you do need a machine that gets enough of the dirt to stay ahead of it. However, my Kirby, Royal and both Simplicity machines (a Verve canister and a Freedom upright I sold my 6970) get it without much fuss. ![]() I've also found that cat fur, unlike dog fur, weaves itself deep into the carpet if you don't get it right away, and takes some more oomph to get out: the FQ's power nozzle doesn't do a great job on it. It wasn't until I'd vacuumed every other day for about a month, first with the FQ and then with a Kirby, that I stopped getting tons of grit. The previous tenants had something that groomed the surface pretty well, but the first time I ran a more powerful vac over it (a Filter Queen, in this case), I pulled out a ton of sand. In my case, I have cats and I also have a lot of sand that gets tracked in, so there's a lot of both fur and heavy grit - something like a Dyson would not do very well on my carpets. See some of VacLab's tests on Youtube, for example - there are some vacs that do better on one kind of dirt than on others. That's a fair point, and yeah, I think if you're assiduous about it, you can get away with a fair bit less oomph, as long as the vac you're using gets enough of the kind of dirt you actually have. ![]() On this menu, more is more and really, it’s never enough. ![]() This is the menu where executive chef Jarrad Gwaltney holds back any pretense of restraint.

"I was a nervous wreck to go down there," Smolka said. She worked with her adopted mother to put together an album of photos showing Smolka growing up in New York so that her birth mother could see how she was raised. Smolka went for a week in February, not only reuniting with her mother but also meeting four sisters, a brother and 10 nieces and nephews for the first time. Since learning the truth about their adoptions, both Smolka and Molokie have reunited with their families in Chile. “It’s awesome for us because it’s about changing lives.” Reunited In all, six cases have been resolved as a result of the same USA TODAY story that Molokie read, said Constanza del Río, founder and president of Nos Buscamos.

Molokie’s mother would come to tell him that her sisters brought her to a halfway house when she was 4 months pregnant and that she was held captive until she had the baby.
