(1/n) Very regularly @AuschwitzMuseum posts a tweet about a Czech child, or one of their relatives, who is on this school photo. A photo taken in 1942. According to Frank Bright, marked with the arrow, many of the children were dead 2 weeks after this photo was taken.💔😢 ⬇️

(1/10) On 21-04-1896 Truus Wijsmuller (born Meijer) was born. Truus Wijsmuller, the woman who, with her 'big mouth', saved 10.000 Jewish children. It starts in 1933, when Hitler came to power. She travels to Germany to pick up relatives of Jewish acquaintances.

(1/n) 127 years ago Truus Meijer was born on 21-04-1896. This time not a victim of the Nazi's but a brave woman who stood up against them. And by doing that she saved more than 10.000 Jewish children. And the sad thing is that so many people, even Dutch, never heard of her. ⬇️

(8/10) She is known to the Germans as "die verrückte Frau Wijsmuller" (the crazy Wijsmuller woman), because she helps Jews, for nothing. In 1943 she arranges that all children in #Westerbork receive a package at christmas. The list of her actions goes on and on.
