TERMAAT i\ug 18, 87 Dear Bill Thanks a lot for sending us the notes a couple of students made after our visit last year. One can only try to make up for the lack of direct involvement of the present generation in the horrible circumstances then.

Daa r war en versc ~illende re denen vo or uite raard, maar behalve de strik t noodzakel i j ke dingen die gedaan moesten worden i.v. m. de notaris ( e n mijn ei gen belasti ng a angifte v66r 1 april ) l eek het wel of er met het wegva ll en van de spanning e en soort apathie over me kwam . Maar laat ik nu e ers t zeggen dat i k het met jullie r edener i ng helemaal eens ben - en jullie conclusi e is kennelijk g eba se erd op het rapport van Ton W. dat het onjuis t en ongewenst zou zijn de kinderen te betrekken in deze affaire. Late n we het maar verge ten en blij zi jn , dat we elkaar no g heb ben en onze onderlinge r e latie z uiver is. Eén din g moet i k recht zette n . Gé he ef t geen enke l re cht op een e rfd ee l. Er was geen testamen t en dan is er in de wet gere geld dat alles gelijkelijk v erdeeld wordt en het deel dat toe komt aan een inmi dde ls overleden kind v ervalt aan diens kinderen , ergo de k i nder en trede n dan in de re cht en van d e (in dit geval)vader. Dat re cht kan niet ontnomen worden . De kinderen hebben mij ook gemachtigd. Ik he b ze destijds voor d e keuze gesteld "iemand" aan te stellen met ber e idheid mijnerz ijds die t aak op me te n emen indien zi j dat wensten. Dat is z o gebeurd . Bijna gelijktijdi g met jullie bri ef werd me ono mstotelij k duidelij k dat ik geen bewijs kan leveren dat ~ t grafmonument veranderd is.

Jullie zult wel niet kunnen begrijpen, waarom onze brief niet aangekomen is , wel eenvoudig omdat we hem nooit hebben verzonden. Toen het na enkele weken goed tot mij doorgedrongen was, w ter allemaal gebeurd was in de loop der jaren , en welke houding Jaap had genomen , kon ik haast niet gelooven , dat hij zoo bewust zijn Moeder en zijn zusters had benadeeld . Hij scheen totaal vergeten te hebben , dat hij zijn zusters en zwagers noodig heeft gehad om directeur te worden na Vaders overlijden . De drie origineele ool1lillissarissen hadden Veerman willen hebben , als een zooveel oudere en meer ervaren oandidaat, maar onze family bracht in een meerderheid van stemmen , waardoor zijn benoeming plaats vond . Voordat wij naar America vertrokken , kwam hij naar ons toe en zei , dat .!!.!J n i e t ~ dat de aandeelen het land verlieten en mij als het ware dwong om ze over te geven , vergetende dat ik ook ~q de zaak h~d ewerkt voor kost en inwoniny en een zak~eld van Juni 1932 tot lJan . 1939 . Hij wist dat bij vergoeding had ontvangen of zeer binnenkort zou ontvangen voor de in de oorlog gevorderde auto,s, en door dit te verzwijgen ons zeer bewust benadeelde. lijda werd gedwongen om de aandeelen over te geven, omdat hij de "zaak ging verkoopen" en daardoor de aandeelen noodi had , De verkoop gine toen prompt niet door . Ik weet niet wat hij aan Corry heeft verteld om ze har afhandig te maken . Een ander vraag is hoeveel aandeelen had hij oorspronkelijk in zijn bezit. Als het er meer dan twee waren , waarom? Wij vertrokken naar Ameri$A, zooals jullie weten in Januari 1952, dus ruim 25 jaar geleden. In elk geval heeft Lyda een onderhoud gehad met Jaap in of voor 1973. met betrekking tot al dit , dit is een zoogenäamde rnondelinrestuiting( binnen JO jaar) . En dan nog adviseeren of dwingen(?) aan Moeder om de huisjes te verkoopen in Hillegom en de waarde te gebruiken voor een hypotheek aan een volkomen vreemde in ruil voor een vestigi~s vergunning voor hem zelf in Bergen. Deze transactie w~s niet in Moed rs belang , aangezien Piet en Lijda het initiatief hadden genomen in de Raad van Commissarissen voor een waardevast pensioen , ten voordeele van ~oeder . Hij benadeelde Moeder en daardoor de erven voor een aanzienlijk bed.ra~ . Onroerende goederen, zooals de huisjes in Hillegom zijn zeer in waarde gestegen(20x of meer) Dit ruikt naar misbruik van vertrouwen en ik ben dan ook zeer verontwaardigd . Iedere keer als ik er aan denk word ik kwaad , dat wij zoo beetgenomen zijn. Voeder en nu h&ar erven hebben nooit kunnen profiteeren van de meerwaarde van haar onroerend goed. Ik vraag me zelf dan ook af , moeten wij dit allemaal nemen? Na eenig nadenken zijn wij besloten om in Nederland advies in te winnen van een expert , buiten de fami _, om de zaak uit te zoeken en te tr chten dit als nog op te lossen in zoo goed mogelijke verstandhouding ~et alle partijen, en zoodoende voor de zusters eenig rechtsherstel te krijgen . Wij hebben inmiddels het eerste contact in deze richting gelegd. Familie aangeleg enheden van een meer plezi erige aard moeten wacht en op een volgende brief. Ontvang de hartelijke groeten van ons beiden • V Piet e en e l a li~s A. B. Termaat-Schuurman 1730 Westlanà Drive N, E.

Fulton, Apt 101 Grand Rapids, MI 49546 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Termaat, Enclosed is a draft of the label text we will be using for your story in the "Rescuers" exhibit. It was very difficult to compress all the information into one small label. I hope you feel this is sufficient. I would appreciate it if you could review the material for content, spelling, dates, etc. I will be out of town the remainder of this week, but will call you the week of March 11 to get any revisions, corrections, etc. You should be receiving an invitation to the opening reception very soon. As I told you during the interview, the evening's events will include a program and a short ceremony honoring the "rescuers." If you are able to attend, we would like you to come up on stage and receive a plaque in your honor. Please let us know through the response card in the invitation, if you will be there that evening. Because of the space restrictions in the auditorium, we will have to do some complex seating arrangements. We are reserving special seats in the front row of the auditorium for the people who will be corning on stage to accept the plaques. We ask that only the two of you use these seats in the front row. We will then have general reserved seats in the rest of the auditorium for any other people in your party. Please indicate the number of general reserved seats you would like on the response card. If you have any questions about the reception, please feel free to ask me when I call you the week of the 11th. Veronica L. Kandl Curator Van Andel Museum Center and Roger B.

When Amersfoort, an important railroad center was taken by the Nazis, the entire population of 40,000 citizens was forced to evacuate. Refugees arrived in the Termaat's hometown of Alkmaar with only the clothes on their backs. The Termaats originally housed a family of eight, but with Adriana recovering from the birth of their first son thirteen day before, their doctor asked the authorities if a larger home could be found for the family. A mother and her young daughter replaced the family in the Termaat's house. Their first conscious act of resistance occurred at Peter's job as a paralegal. He was told to select men from his community to work as forced labor in German war factories. He refused and sent a letter saying he could not perform this job because of his conscience. The reply came back, "Request for exemption from job could not be made for the reason of conscience." After losing the job, Peter and the family moved to a small farming community near Alkmaar. Here the Termaats became more involved in resistance and rescue work. A friend asked them to hide a Jew in their home. "This is the way you got involved, through your friendships," stated Adriana. Peter followed, "It was not that we thought a long time about what we should do. We just acted on what we saw happening. Here we'd lived in a country where freedom of religion and civil liberties had always been allowed and all of a sudden they were being violated. The Nazis were interfering with our basic freedom." A succession of Jews, downed Allied pilots and Dutch men fleeing forced labor found haven at the Termaat's. Before their house was raided, they built a hiding place in the attic. A small room with a mattress was concealed behind a wall covered with straw. Peter also helped coordinate projects for the underground including setting up "safe houses" for downed pilots, securing and distributing ration and identification cards, and printing underground newsletters. In the spring of 1944 an informer told the Gestapo of Peter's work for the underground. Fortunately resistance leaders learned of the betrayal and hid Peter just in time. The Gestapo raided the house and interrogated Adriana. She fabricated a story about Peter's absence and hoped that her two and four year old sons would not inadvertently give them away. Since the house was then under constant surveillance, Peter could not return. He was forced to go into hiding but he continued to work with the underground until the war ended in June, 1945. �Neither Peter nor Adriana want to be thought of as heroes. "It was just something you did. It's like when you see a child fall in the water you jump in to get them out. Deep down you could not reason it out. Something had to be done," said Peter. Adriana hesitantly says, "The way we were raised, you feel sorry for those people who have to accept all those terrible things. They were hunted people. It seemed so unfair that they were persecuted because they were different. We were convinced that we too had to do our share to regain our freedom. But we are not heres. Please don't think of us that way." 3rd draft/termaat 3-11-96 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In conferring upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, Grand Valley State University expresses its appreciation for your contribution to student understanding of the Holocaust and honors you for your courage in saving the lives of so many at the risk of losing your own. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

THE REVEREND ANDRE AND MAGDA TROCME LE CHAMBON-SUR-LIGNON, HAUTE-LOIRE, FRANCE "Le Chambon-sur-Lignon is situated on a high plateau surrounded by rugged mountains in south-central France. It is a place where the winters are very long and very cold. But there, in that little village, during World War II, the climate of the heart was warm, for it was in Le Chambon that people fleeing from the Nazis were welcome and found a place of refuge. Adults as well as children were cared for by people in the village and by peasants from the surrounding countryside. Jewish children taken from interment camps like Gurs and Rivesaltes, were hidden and helped by these good people. There, Jewish children went to school and had their lessons together with non-Jewish children from the area. They played tug-of-war and other games. They had a pig named Adolf. The people of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon not only resisted the Nazis, they resisted the policies of their own country, Vichy France." PIERRE SAUVAGE from "The Courage to Care'' Carol Rittner, R.S.M. and Sondra Myers, Editors. The leaders of this resistance were a Protestant minister and his wife, Andre and Magda Trocme. As Magda Trocme said, later, the issue was: "Do you think we are all brothers or not? Do you think it is unjust to turn in the Jews or not? Then let us try to help!" DENNIS PRZYBYSZEWSKA AND ALBINA PRZYBYSZWSKA KUSEK STYDYN, POLAND Albina and Dennis Przybyszewska lived in a small town in Fbland called Stydyn. They were trying to survive during the difficult times of the Nazi occupation. When the Nazis began to take Jews away to murder them, Albina and her husband took several young Jews into their home in the hope of saving them. In May of 1943 a young Jewish couple and her sister were hidden in their home. The sister, Ito, had gone to another village when the Ukranians under German command attacked the house. The young couple were killed and Dennis Przybyszewska was taken away and subsequently killed. Albina ran to another village. She returned later and saw what had happened and so did Ito. Ito went to another place temporarily but they met again in July of 1943 in Sarny where they were all being deported to labor camps in Germany. Ito was with another young Jewish girl Batia. When during the processing for departure to Germany the officials called out the name Przybyszewska the people who stepped forward were Albina, her mother, her two young daughters (Barbara and Jadwiga), Ito and Batia. From that point on, in Fbland and during their entire stay in Germany until the end of the war, with many terrifying incidents, they lived together as one family. The two surviving women, one now living in Canada and one in Israel are forever grateful for Albina's determination to save them. Albina has been a resident of the Chicago area for many years and we are proud to have the opportunity to honor her, and also her husband, Dennis, who died trying to save others. �SPONSORS Am Shalom Congregation, Glencoe Am Yisroel, Northfield Beth Emet Synagogue, Evanston Beth Hillel, Wilmette B'Nai Torah, Highland Fork Cathol ic Theological Union, Chicago Christ Church, Winnetka Christ United Methodist Church, Deerfield Church of Christ, Wilmette Church of Jesus Christ of lotter-Day Saints, Wilmette Common Ground, Deerfield Community Church of Wilmette Congregation B'Nai Tikvah, Deerfield Congregation Solel, Highland Fork Evanston, Ecumenical Action Council Evanston Human Relations Comm ission Evanston Min isters Alliance Faith, Hope and Charity Church, Winnetka First Baptist Church, Evanston First Congregational Church of Wilmette First Congregational Church, Evanston First Presbyterian Church, Deerfield First Presbyterian Church, Evanston First Presbyterian Church, Wilmette First United Methodist Church, Evanston Glencoe Baha'i Community Glencoe Public Schools Highland Fork Presbyterian Church Immanuel Lutheran Church, Evanston Jewish Reconstructionist Synagogue, Evanston Mikdosh El Hagro Hebrew Center, Evanston Mount Zion Baptist Church Evanston North Shore United Methodist Church, Glencoe North Suburban Synagogue Beth El, Highland Fork Sacred Heart Church.

Your project to remember the Holocaust and also to honor the Righteous Gentiles is important, very important. What is memory if not a response to and against indifference? And who are the Righteous Gentiles if not those who by their actions - sometimes large, more often small - proved that it was possible for a person to remain human in an inhuman time, that it was possible to help Jews during the Holocaust? The Avenue of the Righteous, at Yad Vashem in Israel, and now the Avenue of the Righteous here in Illinois, must help us to remember and to learn. Never again must Jews - must any people - who are in danger feel abandoned. Remember: it is always possible to help one mother, one child, one person.

I have enclosed two copies of the article which appeared in the Grand Rapids Press on that day , and if you would so advise , will forward one also to the Yad Vashem Authority. What we missed in the article was our positive reference to the words from Isaiah in the 16th chapter vs~ : 11 Shelter the homeless, do not betray the fugitive 11 It confronted from our pulpits in the Reformed Church, all members with the coming sacrifices and these words took on a life of their own virtually as a command. And so our geneology goes on: from my mother who as a young girl in the late 1890's went at night over their jewish neighbors to lite the oil lamp at Sabbath's commencement, and what we have been able to hand o~ver to our children and grandchildren and friends.

When the Lord brought back those that returned to Zion, it was like a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then the nations said : "The Lord has done great things for them." Yea, the Lord has done great things for us; we rejoice! Bring back the rest of our homeless, 0 Lord. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy . Though sadly they carry seed to the field, gladly they bring home the sheaves. - Psalm 128 2 �GRACE AFTER MEALS :,,~ 'JJ1::11 ,~n ill;l~Q 11:l~ =~ Cf 'i'.'f: :C?i31 ,~n ill;l~Q 11:l~ =~ C~ 'i:J: :D?i31 :leader :Response :leader 'JJi::111 H~11 Hl9 mro7:J :i?~Q U~~t$~ U'i;J~tj 11~~ :U'~'J i:n~~1 i?rfQ u'?;t$f 1l'p.i,~ 11i~ :Response :U'!,:t i:11~~1 i?rfQ u'?;!:$f U'p·?~ ,1,~ :leader .c?il10 nl:$ HiJ .01111;:, 179 u'p.i,~ -!: i1J;l~ 11,; ?~~ 1?1'~ 1JJ1l N1i1 .

Linda Slotsima, Staff Assistant to Congressman Hal Sawyer Fred Sarne Are there words to describe the Holocaust? Indeed there are. The words of our brothers in their despair , in their defiance and in their refusal to accept their tormentors objectives are a memorial to the spirit of man and the Jewish people. The words sear _ they call out to the living. But remember, we did more than survive. We won. The people of Israel lives, and while we live, we remember our fallen. �PRAYER iviaster of the Universe, Lord of the humble and the weak, Strength of the righteous and Hope of all who dream of goodness and justice; Mercifully hear our prayer which arises from the anguish in our souls as we recall the Holocaust in which 6 million of our brethren and sisters, your children of the House of Israel, were slaughtered and burned. Expand our minds that we may grasp the full horror of this reign of darkness and touch our hearts with true grief, penitence and resolution that we may remember and never forg~t. MAY WE REMEMBER LORD, AND NEVER FORGET. The burning synagogues, the brownshirts, the jackboots, and the yellow star of David. MAY WE REMEMBER LORD, AND NEVER FORGET. The arrests at midnight, the uprooting of millions from ancestral soil, and the destruction of families. MAY WE REMEMBER LORD, AND N£VER FORGET. The ghettoes, the starvation, the wretchedness and the faith. MAY WE REMEMBER LORD, AND NEVER FORGET. The thick smoke from Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald; the mountains of bones, and the lingering stench of death. MAY WE REMEMBER LORD, AND NEVER FORGET. May the sacredness and solemnity of this hour bring to our hearts the deep resolve that they did not die in vain -- but that their faith and their dreams live on in us and in our children. Amen. �'•.

This day in sacred convocation we remember those who gave us life. This day we remember thos€ who enriched our life with love and with beauty, with kindness and compassion, with thoughtfulness and understanding.

The Lord has compassion for His creatures. He has planted eternity within our soul, granting us a share in His unending life. He redeems our life from the grave. During our brief life on earth He gives us choices. Page Two n~~ 1~7 �These I recall and pour my heart out. How the arrogant have devoured us!. Fifteen thousand children passed through the camp of Terezin from 1941 to 1945. One hundred survived. One who did not was Frantisek Bass, born in 1930, deported to Terezin in 1942, murdered at Auschwitz in 1944. He left a poem. A little garden, Fragrant and full of roses. The path is narrow And a little boy walks along it. A Ii ttle boy, a sweet boy, Like that growing blossom. When the blossom comes to bloom, The little boy will be no more. Page Three �Six million little boys and girls, and men and women, six million of our cousins who by the whim of monsters are no more. That little boy my cousin, whose cry might have been my cry in that dark landWhere shall I seek you? On what wind shaffl reach out to touch the ash that was your hand? Where shall I seek you? There's not anywhere a tomb, a mound, a sod, a broken stick, mar~ing the sepulchres of those sainted ones the dogf aced hid in tumuli of air. 0 cousin, cousin, you are everywhere! And in your death, in your ubiquity, bespeak them all, our sundered, cin1ered kin: David, whose cinctured boneyoung branch once wrapped in phylacterynow hafts the peasant's bladed kitchenware; and the dark Miriam murdered for her hair; the relicts nameless, and the tatoo'd skin fevering from a lampshade in a cultured homeall, all our gaunt, skull-shaven familythe faces are my face! that lie in lime. You bring them, jot of horror, here to me, them and the slow eternity of despair that tore them, and did tear them, out of time. Death may be beautiful when, full of years, ripe with good works, a man, among his sons, says his last word and turns him to the wall. But not these deaths I Not these weighted tears! The flesh of Your sages, Lord, flung prodigal to the robed fauna with their tubes and shears; Your chosen for a gold tooth chosen; for the pervert' s wetness, flesh beneath the roddeath multitudinous as their frustrate sporeThis has been done to us, Lord, thought-lost God; and things still hidden, and unspeakable more. Page Four �A world is emptied. There where Your people praised in angular ecstasy Your name, Your Torah is less than a whisper of its thunderclap. Your synago~es, rubble. Your academies are silent, dark. They are laid waste, Your cities, once festive with Your fruit-full calendar, and where Your curled and caftaned congregations danced to the first days and the second star, or made the market places loud and green to welcome in the Sabbath Queen. There where dwelt the thirty-six righteous-world's piUarsand tenfold ancient Egypt's generation, there is nothing, nothing ... only the million echoes calling Your name still trembling on the air. We who have survived them pray: again renew our days. Again renew them as they were of old, and for all time cancel that ashen orbit in which our days, and hopes, and kin are rolled. I' If the prophets broke in through the doors of-night and sought an ear like a homelandEar of mankind overgrown with nettles, would you hear? If the voice of prophets blew on flutes made of martyred children's bones and exhaled airs burnt with martyrs' criesif they built a bridge of old men's dying groans- Ear of mankind occupied with small sounds, would you hear? Page Five �If the prophets stood up in the night of mankind like lovers who seek the heart of the beloved, night of mankind wo:uld you have a heart to offer? We will renew our prayer, Creat0r, even as You have renewed our hearts. We know that a time will come when there will be no strong and no weak, no hunters· and no hunted, no oppressors and no oppressed, no slayers and no slain, no masters and no servants, no rich and no poor. For we know this world is no waiting room for eternity. Eternity is here among us. · Therefore we are bidden to take thought for our own hereafter, and for our brothers' welfare in this world. And we know that this teaching will survive all its enemies and all our own. Are our enemies mightier than we? _Torah is stronger than their might, and our dream is greater than their night. We know that this world will be saved from evil. Should this not be true, may we know nothing further, as nothing will be worth knowing. For we know how difficult, how dangerous, how piteous it is to be a human being. And we know how granq, how glorious it is to be a human being. When we recall the pain of our past, we also must recall its splendor, the foundation with which our lives begin, and our debt to the long line of our ancestors, of blessed memory, all -those who have come before, beginning with Abraham. Their lives and-their teachings sustain us. The merit of their lives stands at our side today as we seek forgiveness for our own deeds which ha·ve stained and soiled our lives. Page Six �Because of. the strength and the be~uty and the piety of their lives, because ·of our- hope for the future which they have . planted within us-in spite of everythi_ng which strangles hope -we say Yes to creation and we say Yes to our Creator and to His eternity and holiness.
