Amsterdam imenovao most za sjećanje na Holokaust
|
The City of Amsterdam will name one of its last remaining nameless bridges for Pieter Meerburg, who saved 350 Jewish children during the Holocaust.
U Amsterdamu će jedan most ( do sada bez imena) dobiti ime po Pieteru Meerburgu, koji je spasio 350 židovske djece u toku Holokausta.
Gradonačelnik Amsterdama Eberhard van der Laan i drugi odličnici
će 2. rujna "krstiti" most broj 234 imenom Pietera Meerburga. On je bio student u Amsterdamu i 1942 bio je zadužen za
mrežu, poznatu pod imenom "Amsterdamska studentska grupa" , koja je spašavala židovsku djecu u "sigurne kuće" u cijeloj Nizozemskoj. Meerburg je umro 2010.
Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial je priznao Meerburgu da je "pravednik među narodima"" , 1974.godine

One method used by the group to camouflage the Jewish identity of babies they rescued was by allowing foster parents to adopt them. Female couriers working for the group would pretend the babies were their own, telling authorities they wanted to give the babies away for adoption because they did not know the identity of the father.
Bridge 234 is situated at the Hortusplantsoen, some 200 yards from the Portuguese Synagogue and the Jewish Historical Museum.
