Dunnville resident Gerry Krumhout was just two years old when his family sheltered 4 year old Jenny and her six year old sister Hanna from persecution at the hands of the invading N**i forces occupying the Netherlands at the time.
The pair, separated from their parents who were betrayed and murdered at a concentration camp in Poland, would reunite with the Krumhout family over 60 years later after tracking them down.
It was then that Gerry’s father, Cornelius, was able to hand the two girls something he had held on to for six decades - sealed letters written to them by their father.
For Gerry’s story, and more Remembrance Day coverage, look to this week’s copy of The Press for our special pullout, or visit our website (haldimandpress . com - no spaces), where we have unlocked the digital version for free in honour of our Veterans and all who served and continue to serve our country.
