This photograph is taken at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Jerusalem in 1984.  It was taken on the day that a tree was planted to honor the heroic actions of Lubertus and Geeske te Kiefte.  Their heroic actions are documented in the upcoming book Jew Face.


To Remember…

This is the plaque given by Nardus & Sipora Groen to Lubertus &  Geeske te Kiefte at the end of World War II in gratitude for their remarkable and selfless sacrifice.

It is from Psalm 31, Verse 9 and translates as follows:

“You will not abandon me into enemy hands,

but will set my feet in a free and open space.”
