Annals of the dead.... (3)

The Hague Jewish cemetery...


when Mr. Heijman Edersheim died on 19.4.1943. At that time most of the jews in The Hague had to hide somewhere. The inscription on the tombstone says, that Mr. Edersheim's body is burried in another place. In the wall visible at the far end was a little port. Dead jews were brought in secretly at night and burried close to the wall. Officially they didi not exist...
