This story is the story of murder, mass murder, on a scale hitherto unknown, premeditated and committed in cold blood. The murderers were German and the murdered, the Jews of Holland. The Jews were, in a process of disenfranchisement and isolation, robbed of everything, transported and in a systematic-scientific, technically-efficient manner, murdered. They were city folk and farmers, orthodox, agnostic and atheist, healthy and sick, old and young, families and individuals, Dutch and Aliens: men, women and children. Without hurry, well thought out, registered and regimented. The murderers were often not brutes nor illiterates, but academics and intellectuals with an abiding love for literature, sculpture and music: many were caring fathers and mothers and during the holiday season celebrated Christmas and thereafter resumed their labour: the murder of countless men, women and children, defenceless people, fellow human beings.This is but one story, as seen through the eyes of one child, there are millions more.
