A mind went forth to form worlds; now order reigns where chaos once held sway. Congregation The law makes evening fall; the law brings on the davm. Reader Night and day persuade us there will be days and nights when we are gone. Congregation The stars follow accustomed paths, constellations their patterned ways. Sovereign is the will that orders the stars in their courses In the endless skies. �) Reader And how great is the will of the House of Israel, our people! After long nights of blood, after days and years of terror, 'When our ashes darken the sey where sail the stars in their courses, Israel endures, heart still turned to love, soul ttn'ning still to life. Congregation So day and night, rising and reclining, the painful call to rejoice will find us ready still to say beloved words: Tora h and rnitzvot, laws and precepts: 0 they are our life and the length of our days. Praised be the source of life and love, and Israel our people! Mi Chomocha • • • Page 53 ••• Union Prayer Book Readings Silent Meditation Not always sure what things called sins may be, I am sure of one sin I h a:ve done. It was years ago, and I was a boy, I lay in the frost flowers with a gun, The air ran blue as the flowers., I held my breath, two birds on golden legs slim as dream things Ran like quicksilver on the golden sand, My gun went off, they ran with broken wings Into the sea, I ran to fetch them in, But they swam with their heads high out to sea, They cried like two sorrowful high flutes, With jagged ivory bones where wings should be. For days I heard them when I walked tha. t headland Crying out to their kind in the blue, The other plovers were going over south On silver wings leaving these broken two. The cries went out one day; but I still hear them Over all the srunds of sorrow in war or peace I ever have heard, time cannot drown them, Those slender flutes of sorrow never cease. Two airy things forever denied the air! I never knew how their lives at last were split, But I have hoped for years all that is wild, Airy, and beautiful will forgive my guilt.

Others in their emptiness seek only wealth, fame or power; Teach them to value other gifts than these. And some live with death in their souls; they are stunned, vtolent and filled with hate; Give us wisdom to save them from the wastelands of the spirit. And teach us to show our love; let compassion and knowledge combine for the welfare of all Your children That all may know they are not alone. We are not alone when God is in our heart and actions.

Now I come to cr1t1c1ze. I feel that I must express to you my great d1s-sat1sfact1on with happenings at and the conduct of our evening and morning services of Rosh Hashana last week. I refer first, to the stat1on1ng of a police officer at the very door of the Temple. This I consider an insult to every one of us, every member of the congregation. This must have been authorized by the Board; 1f so 1t was a sorry mistake. I respect our Babb1 very much, he 1s a wonderful man and leader, but I regret to say I think h1s •sermon" of that first evening, references to the policeman and moneys was, to say the least, 111 advised. It was undign1f1ed to discuss such matters at a time when our people were 1n the Temple for prayer, worship and instruction. I abhor the apparent attitude of the present Board toward the pledges and contributions of our people. They seem to oYerlook the fact that these are recession times, that 1t 1s not as easy for people to give now as 1t has been during past good years. I am well aware of our f1nanc1al cond1t1on and our budget of some $32Aooo., but diplomacy 1s needed to secure money, not clubs~ We need understanding and tolerance amo#ng us, not antagonism. The bulldozing tactics we have seen do more harm than good, instead of encouraging people to come to the Temple, we are dr1v1ng them away. �- - -/ I\. 9/28/60 Page Two This 1s my own personal opinion, but I fear that our Board, while having on it a group of very fine young men, 1s being controlled by just a few members--wh1le the others just go along with them. In past years we have accomplished a great deal in our community, end, in the main everyone was happy and co-operative. But--these few directors have, by 111 advised tactics and actions, undone much of the good accomplished 1n the past.

The meeting was called to order by the President at 8 : 15 P.M. Present were the following: Abe Ashendorf, Rose Lawsj, Robert Li bner, I sad ore Ashendorf, Alan Oppenheimer,~~§~cker, Arthur Bell, Dr . Arthur Greenberg, Dr . Morris Teles, Rabbi Kaplan, Jack Lipman, Douglas Rosen, Marvin Gudelsky, Or. Morton Kantor, Joel Wiener, Max Rothschild, and Louis Grossman. The Treasurer's report was read by Dr . Singer and approved. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Secretary and - approved . Old Business 1. President Ashendorf advised us of the zone change requested by Dr . Tyler for the property adjacent to the Rabbinate and the hearing notice in this matter was referred by the President to Sam Klayf and Leo Rosen for investigation . 2. A letter of appreciation from Mrs . M'rmel was read and acknowledged, as was a letter of appreciation to the Finance Committee by Mr. and Mrs. Fonstein. 3. Rose Lawson proposed that Dr . Singer be commended for his excellent work and tact by the Finance Committee in the dues and pledges for this year . 4. Everyone concurred . Marvin Gudelsky reported on the Board of Education and the following matters were discussed pertaining to Re l igious and - 1 - �Hebrew School problems: a. That a definite contract is to be entered into between the Board of Education and Mrs. Teles. b. The problem of prompt or earlier leaving for Sunday School children, particularly in the younger grades, is to be referred to the Board of Education . c. The matter of tuition for Hebrew School is to be reported on and the possibilities of a Hebrew class for adult women, if enough are interested. d. The parking and safety problem for the children on leaving the Re ligious School was discussed, as was the mud, mire, .,- water and lighting problems and pipe problem in our adjacent parking lot. All of these matters were referred to the Board of Education for further study and recommendations . 5. Concerning the Ritual and Usher Committees, there was extensive discussion and recommendations concerning the matter of decorum at services, particularly at Holy Day services. It was suggested that these suggestions be formulated into formal ritual or rules by the Usher and Ritua 1 Committees, to be acted upon, approved or disapproved, in part or in whole, by the Board so that the matter could be finalized amply before the next Holy Day services. It was suggested that it wou Id be preferred if no one cou Id leave or enter the services during crucial points of the service, particularly when the congregation is standing, when the Ark is open, or prior to the conclusion of the Rabbi's sermon. Further, that no one shou Id leave during the Torah service or during the - 2 - �sermon, except in the case of emergency. It was thought that perhaps one way to obtain decorum in advance of the commencement of the service would be for Mr . Bourziel to play the organ several minutes prior to the commencement thereof . 6. It was suggested that the small sanctuary be used for children's services - that this be given consideration . Abe Ashen- dorf insisted that we should all, as Board members and officers, urge attendance of our friends at the Friday evening services. New Business l. It was agreed that we should send a letter of thanks to the Adult Youth Group for their succah construction activities . For the excellent work of the choir we should send special commendation . 2. The fire alarm went off during the children ' s services in the Holy Days and it was agreed that Max Rothschild construct a hinged box over the fire alarm box . This was referred to the House Committee. 3. To the House Committee was also referred the mattet of inadequate lighting of our parking Jot . 4. Louis Grossman proposed that we recognize Joseph Singer for his cantorial services for this and past years and for this year it was particularly appropos that we give him financial recognition . The amount of $500 . 00 was suggested by Mr . Grossman, which was put in the form of a motion by Douglas Rosen , seconded, and then discussion was had on the question of whether or not Mr . Singer was to be paid $500 . 00 for his fine cantorial services for the past Holy Days. The motion was then amended by Mr . Rosen - 3 - �. . . . .. to allege re imbursement for expenditures rather than a r ecognit i on for services rendered . Rosen ' s motion and Thereafte r fr, Teles ' &i>t Teles moved to table Mr . mot i on to table carried . The motion for presentation at the next meet ing w i 11 be the or i g i na 1 motion to give Mr . Sfl,IP'th~a $500 . 00 g i ft in recognit i on of his past cantorial services rather than as a reimbursement for expenses . Mrs . Klayf and Mrs . Sarah Klein are in the hospital . We should go up and see them . Abe Ashendorf was commended for his fine participat i on in the Holy Days services . A,r. Rosen moved to congratulate the Rabbi for his f ine sermons for the Holy Day services . We are to send a letter to Dr . Philip Mil ler for his nice work on the Shofar .

Isadore Ashendorf suggested that the Treasurer earmark on his report the accumulation of funds for the parking lot improvement contemplated in the total amount of $2,000 . 00 . The dues collections were reviewed and the delinquencies were assigned to various Board Members for attempts at collection . OLD BUS INESS l. Office Efficiency Committee (Alan Oppenheimer and Max Rothsch il d ) indicated there was noth in g to report thus fa r . 2. Arthur Bell indicated some dissatisfaction with the wording concern i ng Yortzeit services in the Temple Bulletin and this was to be clarified by the Rabbi in the next Bulletin so as to indicate that it would be permissible to have the Yortzeit service on the next Fri day night following the ann iversary of the death . 3. The Rabb i suggested a meeting be scheduled for the Ri tual Comm i ttee to take up the matter of the appointment of various members of the congregation to take part at the services for what aid �• it may be in inducing additional attendance .

This was to be followed up by the Rabbi and reported back to the Board if it got out of hand . 2. The Rabbi advised that the Board of Education was con- sider i ng the need for Youth Group Scholarships from the Temple funds because the need for same surpasses the ability of the Youth Group and the Board of Education to raise the money independently . These scholarships are for the general purpose of sending some of our youth to leadership conclaves and summer camp, etc . , when the opportunit ies arise . 3. Concerning the proposed planned additional classrooms for the Religious School, the Board of Education desires some voice in the planning of this project so as to enable suggest i ons to be made by the Board of Education directly to the Temple Board members work ing on this project in the hope of getting everyone ' s • viewpoint on this and perhaps solving problems in advance of the erection of the new schoolrooms . 4. The House Committee reported, through Dr . Singer, that - 2 - �$800 . 00 was collected from the insurance carrier for damages created by the boiler in the Temple . 5. Clher committees had nothing to report at this meeting but it was generally felt that more committee meetings were going to be scheduled in the future and the Social Action and the B' Nai B' rith groups were going to integrate activities concerning the Jewish problem in the community, wherever it existed . GOOD AND WELFARE Rabbi Kaplan reviewed the progress of the ill memoers of our community, including Justin Gudelsky, Phi lip Gran i k, Selma Cahn, ~rs . Jacobs, Charles Rabinsky, Mrs . Klayf, Regina Ross and noted that l.lrs . Kantor ' s father had passed away from a heart attack .

Oan Rapoport advised the Board of certain anti-Semitic sermons sponsored by the "Church of the Open Door" over one of our local radio stations by a Minister named Bureau. The Rabbi advised us of his contact with Reverend Bureau and this matter was to be referred to the Social Action Committee and possibly the Anti-Defamation League of B' nai B' rith. 6. Proposals and plans were submitted by Rabbi Kaplan for the expansion of the Religious School classrooms and also for a modification of our present plan of Confirmation so as to have a tenth grade confirmation rather than the ninth grade, with the idea in mind to foster continued religious education of our youth beyond the present level. It was explained that this would not require a great change in the present curricula and if we do not approve it now, this will be commenced no earlier than with the present seventh grade and no late r than for the fifth grade . Marvin Gudelsky appointed a committee to discuss and consider the merits of th is proposal after Dr. Kantor pointed out the possible serious conflicts between the social and educational schedule of the public school with the religious program .

On the motion of Max Rothschild the regular RulEt>and order of business were suspended . Alan Oppenheimer, Co-Chairman of the Office Efficiency Committe~ read to us an extensive committee report of their findings and recommendations based upon a study of Temple office procedures over a period of approximately two to three months . The following recommendations were submitted for adopt i on by - l - �the Board : 1. All purchase orders in the future for all materials are to be signed by one authorized person on forms to be provided on a regular purchase order type voucher . This authorized person is to have a designated representative or agent, so that in the event he is absent at the time a purchase order needs to be secured , the a l ternate person can be delegated to s i gn same . 2. Temple organizations other than the strict business operation of the Temple should not use or work in the Temple off ices during regular bus iness hours when the Sec r etary is working , except upon special arrangement with the Rabbi • and/or the Secretary and all efforts should be made to perform Committee and other organization bus i ness funct ions in other areas either in the Temple or at home . 3. The Temple filing system is to be r eviewed and stream- lined in accor dance with the written recommendations of the Office Effic iency Committee . 4. A Bullet i n Comm ittee is to be appo inted, the i ntent i on being to divest the Rabbi of the clerical function of pre paring the Temp le Bulletin on a monthly basis so that he can devote his full t ime and efforts to h i s pri ncipal Temple dut ies . 5. A Te lephone Committee is to be appointed so that the Temple Secretary wi 11 not ha ve to do phone call ing, except for Board meet ings . 6. Wherever possible, the Sec r eta r y of the Temple should use ca r bon copies rather than the duplicating mach i ne . - 2 - �7. Long distance phone calls are to be made only by author- ized personnel of the Temple . 8. The Vice - President of the Temple Soard is to be appointed in charge of all office operations and is to be empowered to appoint the necessary sub-committees to carry out the foregoing recommendat ions . After some discuss i on by the group, Mr . Jack Lipmann moved the adopt i on of the recommendations of the Office Eff ic iency Committee, whose job, parenthetically, was commended and characterized as excellent by our President and the Board of Trustees . The mot i on of Mr . Lipmann was seconded by Mr . Rothschild and was unanimously carr ied . • The Ritual Committee, represented by Mr . Rothschild and Mr . Arthur Bell , had no report to submit as of the April meeting . The Board of Education Committee, represented by VicePresident Marvin Gudelsky, indicated that the Sisterhood has now given i ts $ 150 . 00 contribution toward the youth scholarship fund program for summer camps and now the Temple must provide its share as agreed upon . Mr . Gudelsky moved that the Board of Education ' s plan for 10th grade confirmation, submitted prev i ously , be approved and that the Board of Education be vested wi th the power to decide whether it is to apply to the pr esent 5th , 6th or 7th grade classes . Elaine Friend seconded the motion and i t was unanimously approved after a great deal of inte r esting discuss i on, pro and con . It must be noted that the feeling of the Board of Trustees , on approving this plan , was to approve i t on a trial bas i s only and to see - 3 - �how i t worked out in pract ice and then, after the trial period, we were aga i n to review the merits of the proposal . I t was also sug- gested by Rabbi Kaplan that the matter of this plan be held in the strictest confidence at the present time so that needless discussion and unwarranted panic on the part of Temple members be avoided . The Soc ial Action Comm i ttee was represented by Rabbi Kaplan, who indicated that Reverend Bu r caw may be dy ing of cancer; may have seduced a fellow congregant and may be leav ing town on the next train so that all problems as to his bitter anti-Semitic radio propaganda has been resolved, at least temporarily . Old Bus iness . Isadore Ashendorf advised us that the Golden Book has not been kept up to date and Rose Lawson indicated that that would be ' taken ca re of . New Business . Arthur Bell was nominated as Chairman of the Nominating Committee for Temple Officers and Board Members and a slate of officers was to be provided at the May meeting of the Temp le . The Rabb i ad vi sed that the Temple Secretary ' s hours were not completely satisfactory; however , he noted that the Temple Secretary was extremely competent and doing a splendid job, so tha t adjust ments would be made . Mr . Rosen and the Rabbi were to arrange wi th Edd ie Penney to stay long enough so that the 10 ch i ldren attending the Rel i g i ous Schoo l between the hours of 4 : 00 and 6: 00 P. M. would not come to the Temple when it was unattended and unchaperoned . The matter of starting services at 8 : 15 rather than 8 : 30 was agreed upon by the Rabb i and the d i ff i culty of commencing the Temple Board Meetings earl ier was noted because of the conflict in - 4 - �.. ., ." the Rabbi ' s schedule, since he had confirmation classes extending to 8 : 15 or 8:30 on Board Meeting nights . Leo Rosen advised us that the matter of the Temple's contribution to the Rabbi ' s pension fund was resolved on his trip to Chicago recently. He suggested that the mortgage burning ceremony be held in abeyance to be celebrated in conjunction with the proposed Temple expansion program and this wi 11 be brought up again at the next Temple Board meeting. Mr . Kaufman recommended to Mr . Rosen that a committee of Board Members should be appointed by the President to work with and assist and learn from Leo Rosen on this presently existing Temple building expansion program . of this recommendat i on was decided at this meeting .

Ml NUTES The meeting was called to order by President Marvin Gudelsky at 8 : 07 P. M. OFF ICERS PRESENT : Marvin Gudelsky; Alan Oppenheimer; Joel Weiner; Rose Lawson; Robert Libner; and Max Rothschild . TRUSTEES PRESENT: Mrs . Helen Parker; Mrs . Lawson; Mrs . Elaine Friend; Dr . Maurice Stromberg; Douglas Rosen; Sam Singer; Bernard Stern; Dr. Greenberg; Arthur Bell; Leo Rosen; Rabbi Kaplan; Or . Teles; Jack Steindler; Bernard Becker; Abe Ashendorf; Isadore Ashendorf; and Jess Levin . The first order of business was discussion by the President of our very embarrassing financial predicament . It was noted that we needed at least an additional $400.00 by the end of this month to pay our current bills and delinquent pledgees were discussed and names allocated to Board members for collection . Good and Welfare . 1. A condolence letter was to be mailed to the Reuben Berman family, Rose Lawson to prepare same. 2. Rabbi Kaplan was to prepare a message for i nscr ipt ion upon a plaque consisting of a resolution of recognition of the past services of the deceased Reuben Berman to the community and this plaque was to be given to the widow at a suitable opportun i ty . 3. Mrs . Cherin asked for unskilled labor from the Board members to -1- �fix the shelving for the Religious School and Sisterhood in the office and also advised us of her need for a lock on her drawer . Leo Rosen wisely suggested that a professional be hired to avoid the probab i l i ty of a botcned job . 4. Alan Oppenheimer, on behalf of B' Na i Brith, requested a place for B' Nai Brith mater ials i n our Temple library as well as a bulletin board . The bulletin board request was for posting literature of the Anti-defamation League . Because of objections to the public nature of the 1 ibrary space , the bu! let in board concept was denied . The library space request was granted . Minutes of the February meet i ng were r ead by Secretary protempore, Rose Lawson , and were corrected to include other Trustee membe r s present, consist i ng of Bernard Stern, Dr . Greenberg and Alan Oppenheimer in addition to those prev i ously noted in the minutes . The minu t es were approved as corrected . Marv in Gudelsky discussed the advisability of a Temple contribut i on to the Al l Fa iths Chapel . This matter was informally tabled . Ma r v i n Gudelsky indicated the need for his appo i ntment of a Nominating Committee and proposed several names . Not r equiring Board acceptance or approval , he is to undertake this on his own . Mrs . Helen Parke r welcomed the assistance and help of the Board of Trustees in the sale of the Murray Banks tickets . New Bus iness . The Rabbin ical contract was discussed at length and culminated in a mot i on on the part of Douglas Rosen that the existing contract ~ now had with Rabbi Kaplan be extended for a period of an additional one year commencing August 30, 1963 and extending through September - 2- �' I, 1964. The motion was seconded by Bernard Becker and there was considerable discussion, after which the question was called for and the motion carried, 23 yeas, I nay (the nay vote being a Board of Trustee member who had expressed a desire for a continuing open contract) . Respectfully submitted, Robert Libner, Secretary . - 3 - �, .. 1REASURER'S REPORT - CONl'\REGATION B'NAI ISRAEL - !-'.ARCH, 1963 GENEiiAL FUND RECEIPTS Total Received Received This Amount Amount This Month Fiscal Year Unpaid 3/31 ile~es 96~3 Dues •9. 4lli.6l $2,079. 25 ~19,739.61 ~7,335 , 36( 1) '" 1961--62 Dues 888. 54 0 l, 706.46 886.54 1960-61 Dues 245. 00 0 215.00 245. 00 Totals i2,079. 25 ~27,074.97 $8,468.90 Miscellaneous Receipts Phone & Office Supplies 23.95(Z..) 282. 67 Donations 10.00. >) 1,132.00 Board of Ed .

The resident stated that a letter would be sent to him on behalf of the entire community. ick Kaufman brought up the B'nai Brith ~itizenship awar and sug~ested that continuity should be m intained even if the Temple had to continue the program. The resident made his proposal to reduce the number of voting trustees to a total of fifteen. His reasoning behind such proposal was outlined before the Board. Discussion of the procedure necessary to change the present by-laws was brough to the attention of the Board . Jack Steindler moved that the Board be in such procedure to amend the b ·-laws of the Temple 'nai Israel as follows 11 '10 restrict the m.umber of trustees to 15 , in addition to the officers . This was seconded by Richard Kaufman, who then offered the following anBndment: "That the total number of Board Members be limted to 15 , inclusive of officers; that the officers will be elected b the Eoard, with nonvoting re resentation given 1tp B'nai Brith, b-isterhood and dassah" The reasoning behind the amendment as givert'fMr. Kaufman . ouglas Rosen commented on how many in the co~munity were available and interested for leadership participation b~ citing the statistics; namely, that of 105 members , 31 were widows, transients or non-interested members . ¥.r . Jack Lipman commented concerning efforts made in the pas t to set up a succession of chairs to the presidency and of the eventual loss o Temple of benefits that would be gained from these Board hembers , h d they remained active . He brought forth the reasoning that elimination of electing board members in normal manner could create other roblems. Mr . Lavin commented that he was in agreement with Mr . Lipman . Mr . Steindler then made remarks concerning the previous remarR:s. Mr . Kaufman then spote &nd spoke and talked some mora for the limit suggested in the original motion . He added that alternative methods could be injected into the proposal, such as rotating the board and honoring those serving on the board for a long period of time by making them permanent , though non-voting members. ursuin the same proposal for a mor limited board membership, he also suu ested that tho ~e board members having served three years would be non-elegible for the following election .

Our tradition says that God created only one man, who is the ancestor of all men: to teach us that whoever destroys a single human soul has destroyed an entire world; And whoever sustains a single human soul has sustained an en tire world .. And man was created one for the sake of peace among mankind: that none mieht say to his fellow: 11My father was greater than your father. u I call heaven and earth to wtiness: Gentile or Jew, man or woman, man-sorvant or maid-servant - all according to hi.s deeds does the holy spirit rest upon a man .

And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be like frontlets bgtween your eyes. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house, and upon your gates. That you may remember and do all my commandments, and b~ holy unto your uod. I the Lord am your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I the Lora am your God. Page 3 �Less of Me Choir All Reading We solemnly aff irm the truth of Israel's faith: there is One God in heaven and earth. His pow0r and wisdom are manifest in nature, His love and justice in the life of mankind. We see God's guiding hand most clearly when we look back upon the history of our own people. Delivered from ~gyptian bondage, bound to God by the covenant a t uinai, inspired by prophets and instructed by sages, we survived oppression and exile, overcoming time and again the forces that would have cestroyed us. · Rsader We were beset by the weaknesses and faults common to all humanity; yet it ha s been our glory to testify to the unity of God, to hold up before the world an example of courage, and to keep alive in dark ages a vision of humaneness and brotherhood. Let us therefore continue to labour for the day when all men will recognise God's unity and obey His Law. Then shall the nations live together in brotherhood and peace, and all will sing with one accord: All Singing Mi clamocha ba-e-lim adonai mi camocha needor bakodesh. oseh feleh. Norah tehilot Who is like You, 0 Lord, among the gods men worship? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendour, doing wonders? ~ Adonai yimloch leolam vaed. t) The Lord shall reign for ever and everl Reader Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders toil in vain. Unless the Lord guards the city, its watchman stays awake in vain. 11 Page 4 �May it be Your will, 0 Lord our God, to cause love and brotherhood, peace and friendship to dwell among us, to diract us in Your world with good companions and good intentions, to give us hope in the future, and to plant eternity in our hearts: That we may rise in the morning to find our hearts waiting to obey Your will. We praise You, 0 Lord, Guardian of Israel, whose truth gives light to all the world.

Meermalen heb ik de personen ~ie mij volgden ( naar alle waarschijnlijkheid om mijn man of andere ledtm van de L.O.-L.K.P. te vinden) kunnen ontgaan door winkels te bezoeken die meer dan 1 in en uitgang hadden, zoals V & Den Spruyt in Alkmaar. m,in Enkele malen na 9 Mei 19'"' is mijn 's nachts va.n /\lkmur naar BrMk op Langedijk gelopen , in het bijzonder in November 19'''' toen ik een 1u.iskraam had • Na de inval op 9 Mei 191,,, heb ik de mij bekende leden v,qn L.O.-L. K. P. gewaarschuwd . De enige die de wa.arschwuing niet opvolgde was J.ll.cob Balder. Zijn vrouw was in verwachting van haar zesde~kind en hij wilde haar niet alleen laten daar zij haar kind verwachte in Juli 19'' '' , Het heeft hem het leven gekost opgeveer terzelfde tijd dat dit kindje werd geboren. Wij hebben hier waardering ondervonden van veel Amerikaansche soldaten, officieren en minderen die in Normandie geland zijn en hebben overleefd . Soms waren er ook ver_ schrikkelijke ervaring,en als het brutale ontkennen dat de holocaust nooit bestaan heeft, of dat Hitler wat meer tijd had moeten hebben gehad, om het restant van onze Joodsche medeburgers te liquideren. Voor ons vrouwen was het meer het stillew maarvastberaden verzet door met en naast onze mannen te staan en zonder klagen te dragen wat er van ons werdf gevraagd. Dat was het mins_te wat wij konden bieden waar het om de ziel en de hoor?;ste beginselen van ons volk en zovele anderen ging • Eef en Lies Brink uit Alkmaar die mijn man met groot risico verborgen, Fennie Vals Heyn uit Alkmaar, Dr.Lobatto, Dr. van Amerongen en de anderen die mijn man in zijn verzoekschrift heeft genoenrl zullen U veel van dze gebeurtenissen kunnen beves_ tigen. De antisemiet die betrokken was bij de dood van ons kind, zei het zoo ruw weg : 11 Deze mensen zijn vreemdelingen, zij kennen onze wetten niet, ik kan dit niet hebben" • Als een zoo prominent man tegen iemand is-;I's men hier zoo goed als veroordeeld. Want het is kenmerkend dat de vele goede vrienden en kanissen die wij hier hebben, als regel onmachtig zijn om recht te doen ze~evierem. Onze J overgeblevenK.~oons hebben goede positie's en houden Neèerland's naam hoog terwijl onze 7 kleinderen door hen worden geleid tot kennis en waardering van van hun Nederlandsche afkomst. Ik heb op 9 Mei 19'''' uit mijn geloof de kracht p.:~vonden om Viehbahn tegemoet te treden en de ondervraging onder scherpe belichting doorstaan, en zoo hebben vele van mijn vriendinnen en kfnissen.

The Gulf Stream flowing from the Ol.ribbean to Hollandts shores, brings tropical waters to lowlands that would otherwise be frozen in arctic ice. Warm April winds tease buds, blossans and leaves into feathery foliage. The famous tulips are normally in riotous bloan by Miy. Sadly there are few tulips this May. The bulbs have long ago been ground up, mixed with potato and wheat flour and baked into bread to feed a population systenntically deprived of the means of survival by the G:?rzmn Occupation. Diffodils are seen, their poison keeps them from being eaten. The area around the town of Alkrmar, located in the Northwest peninsula of Holland, consists of drained lakes known as polders. It is normally a vast vegetable growing areaJ but not in the form of large fields. Instead hundreds of srrn.11 islands, each no more than ten meters by thirty and barely above water are laboriously tilled by hand. Here, though diminished by the GerMn Occupation, there is enough food for the local population. Potatoes, cabbage, car rots and even milk and cheese provide meager sustenance, but assured survival. It is for survival that Pieter Tenmat and his wife Jannie moved with their two toddler sons fran Alkrmar to nearby Broek-op-La.ngedijk, comoonly known as Broek (brooke), in the middle of a polder. From here, Pieter runs his accountancy practice which also serves as a cover for his clandestine activities in the Netherlands' Resistance Movement. Sunday in Broek is very quiet. The sounds of water, birds and the ever present wind are undisturbed by hmmn traffic. The conservative farmers leave hane only to attend the 100rning and evening church services. The village is isolated, there being only one access road fran Alkmaar on a dike flanked by water on both sides. Pieter and his family live in a rented parsonage on this access road which doubles as the ma.in street for Broek. It is nearly five otclock as Pieter prepares himself for church. Jannie attended the morning service while her husband cared for the youngsters. She will babysit tonight. Their familiar routine is interrupted by the doorbell. It is their friend Evert Brink. rrwe don't have time for explanations, you must leave imrediately. They're coming for you this evening. n Q.ii ckly, a trustworthy neighbor is cal led to bring a crate in his punt, a flat ~Jttaned, pointed wooden boat typical of the region. The entire house is grimly purged of all evi de nee pointing to the Resistance. Weapons, newspapers, counterfeit ration cards and ID's are packed and taken by boat to be buried on one of the farrrer's island plots. The crate ~ill not be found. The islands are virtually identical and there is more water than land. ©February 1986 �-2"Now go," says Evert. "Toke the bicycle path behind the white church in St. Pancras to Koedi jk. If the pontoon bridge over the North Holland canal is unguarded , cane directly to our house. I will take the dike road through St. Pancras and Oudorp and link up with you at hane." Pieter hastily bids Jannie farewell and reviews again the business trip alibi for his absence. The purported business trip is backed up by financial docunents kept in readiness for rapid flight. The documents describe the sale of stock options in a venture to build cold storage warehouses for export imrediately after the war. Pieter leaves quietly so as not to arouse suspicion, taking his toothbrush and pajamas but no luggage . Worrisanely, Jannie watches him go. and the boys The town of Alkrmar lies off the track of rmjor World War II battles, this is as quiet a day as has occurred since the invasion four years ago. There is just a srmll Genmn garrison here. Toe Nazi authorities in hnsterdarn have learned to rely on an effective network of Nether lander spies to rrai ntai n control. A D..ltch front is kept on that control by the local police department in Alkrm.ar which patrols traffic and roonitors ordinary personal conduct • On this Sunday, 7 May 1944, the police station is manned only by officer Jacob van Di jk, a relative newcaner to this traditional town. Jacob v.tl.S born and raised in Kampen, about 150 kilometers to the Southeast. It is midday and his mind wanders to the swat teams recently organized by the Netherland's Resistance Movement. The local team, of mich he is a part, is armed and assigned to violently harass Nazi operations and installations. His day-dream is inte~rupted by an attractive young wanan. nMay I rmke a long distance call to ..Amsterdam?" Her ID shows her to be a C£stapo agent so Jacob has no recourse but to allow the call. Mrs. Fransje de Munk rings Gestapo headquarters which is located on the Euterpestraat in hnsterdam. Jacob busies himself with paperwork as she informs the Gerrmn authorities that she was provided false identity papers by one Pieter Terrraat, a resident of the nearby village of Broek. Jacob does not react as she req1.Jests authority to arrest his cousin Pieter inmediately. Jacob's shift will be over in a few hours, at three o'clock. He is anxious to get hcxne but plans to alert the Resistance. On his way home he stops by a trusted nanber of the Resistance, Evert Brink, and tells him of the afternoon 1 s happening. "You must warn Pieter now," he urgently advises. "He has to go into hiding.n . Without hesitation Evert jmnps on his bicycle, his only transportation, and begins the eight kilometer trip to Broek. Jannie can 1 t sleep Sunday night. Her two little boys sleep soundly in cribs in the rrester bedro001. The shutters are closed and the doors are locked as she lays in bed wai ting and listening to night sounds, fearing the sound of footsteps . They don't come. Toe following rmrning, she takes the boys to Alkroo.ar on her bicyc le, one in a seat up front and the other on the luggage rack, and drops them of f at her rother 1 s . �-3- She manages to reach Evert Brink's house undetected to tell Pieter that there had been no sign of the Gerimns at the parsonage. It is decided he will stay away another day to be sure. "Has our swat team been warned?" he asks. "Yes." Jannie reassures, and leaves to pick up the children and go hane, pretending all is well. The day drags on. That same day a list of Resistance fighters and other citizens targeted for being taken hostage is left exposed in the office of Mayor Stoutjesdijk of Broek, a Nazi sympathizer. The oldest daughter of neighbor Jacob Balder, who works in the office, sees the list and alerts everyone. Pieter and Jannie Termaat are not listed, a ruse suggesting that the exposure was deliberate. Warned, their neighbors do not sleep Tuesday night and see the cars pull up to the parsonage in the preda~~ darkness. And they see the soldiers surround the house and invade it. Jannie lay lightly sleeping until jerked awake by the noise of a gunbutt slamning into the front door. She runs to the door wearing only her nightgown, fearing they will break in by force. The soldiers rush in as Jannie runs back to the bedroan to cover herself with the first thing she sees, a grey sunrner coat with thirteen buttons. She checks on her babies. The soldiers follow and feel both sides of the bed for warmth as evidence that two people had lain sleeping. The surrounded house is thoroughly searched in a matter of minutes as Jannie steadfastly sticks to the business trip story. The S.S. officer coomrnding the ten men wears an overpowering perfume, unmanly in that era. Mlyor Stoutjesdijk of Broek is also there. The soldiers search under the bed and in the closets, everyv.here! All the V¥tlile the S.S. cornmnder keeps Jannie under close surveillance. He asks a question and imrediately beams a bright flashlight in her face. Then he drops the hand holding the light to his side until the next question. In her presence, he personally searches the house, including books to look for hidden docmients. Jannie sees armed men outside the kitchen window. It is the same in other roans. Nien the officer climbs the rickety ladder to an attic storage roan, she mockingly tells him 1 "Be careful! Saneone else fell frCIIl there." He irrrrediately jumps down not knowing mether to take her seriously. Soon after, they leave and Jannie steps outside to see how oony zren are uniformed and how IIll.ny are civilian collaborators. She wants this information to warn the Resistance but is roughly ordered inside before she can see them all. Later that morning she sends the word out, "They have been here." What a relief! They found nothing. ...... After the G?stapo search, the perft.nred officer is identified as the feared Friedrich Cllristia.n Viehbahn S.S., Aide-de--Qunp to S.S. Stunnbannfuhrer Willy La.ges frcm headquarters in .Amsterdam. This level of attention hightens the danger All sv.-rat team rrembers are warned to stay away. Only Jacob Balder stays home, his wife is seven months pregnant with their sixth child, Despite Jannie's repeated warnings, he cannot bring himself to go. Arrested on June 23 bv S.S. Viebahn and Ruhl, aided by the traitor Kuiper, he is shot on July 16 in the sand-dunes near Overveen along with fourteen other Resistance fighters. On this spot, between Haarlem and Z9.ndvoort, rest the remains of 371 figh ters in ~nat is now the Nationa l Resistance Cementery. C �-4Officer van Dijk alerts Dr. Nico Louis of the Alkmaar swat team about Pieter's predicament. Later on Tuesday, the Doctor's Rena.ult is seen leaving the Brink's house driving in the direction of the Heilo woods. Unobserved, Pieter hunkers down on the floor behind Nico, heart pounding in his throat. In Uitgeest they leave the car and wait for the train to take Pieter to Koog-aan-de-z.aan, near .Amsterdam and then to a safe house in .Amersfoor t. Quietly Pieter and the Doctor discuss actions ramining to control further daroo.ge to the regional Resistance. Pieter also asks him to shelter Fransje de Munk \\hose Resistance group had been arrested. Dr. Nico pranises to take care of these matters. "Here is your train my friend, see you after our liberation." Wednesday, Dr. Louis has Fransje de Munk cane to his office during normal business hours and she explains the plight of her arrested husband and his Resistance group. Syrll)athetically, Nico asks, "Do you have any pressing needs?" "Yes," she says, "I badly need identification papers." Nico freezes as he remembers that officer van Dijk overheard a phone call from a young ~ n to the <£s tapo, asking for the arrest of Pieter Termaat. This had happened just last Sunday. Dr. Louis also recalled Pieter's conversation on the train platform. He had explained Fransje's situation. Her Resistance group from Waterland was betrayed and captured, including her husband. She needed a roof over her head and was willing to work for roan and board. Pieter had already provided her false identity papers. This was the key to the betrayal! On Doctor Louis invites Fransje to come by Friday evening to pick up the ID. She is captured by the Alkrmar swat team as she enters Dr. Louis' house and confesses. It seems her husband was having an affair with her sister. Out of revenge, she had informed the G:!stapo of his Resistance activities. The Gestapo gave her a choice, work for them or be condemned to a concentration camp. She is sentenced to die by National Resistance Headquarters. There is no other way . It is either her life or those of loyal Dutclinen, too many have already died as a result of her betrayal. Burial is in the dike near Rus tenburg • Several weeks pass. Allied air attacks on road traffic cause the Germans to dig fox holes along road shoulders using forced Dutch labor. One man happens upon Fransje's body. After the conrrotion settles, the Gestapo advertises a reward for inforimtion leading to the arrest of those res?onsible. The Alkimar swat team scatters, but they are not betrayed. June 6 in .Amersfoort, Pieter walks fran the safe house to a nearby barber shop for a much needed haircut. On the way he pauses to read a newspaper displayed on a bulletin board. A nearby chalk board carries the latest headlines. With a shock he reads of the Allied invasion in Nor1IB.ndy. After returning to the house, he is paid a surprise visit by Evert Brink. "What in the hell are you doing here?" says Pieter. "Is that any way to greet a friend who brings you clean underwear and letters fran hane?" replies Evert. Pieter announces the Allied invasion. " You're crazy," says Evert, so Pieter walks him to the bulletin board. "You can't stay here with all this uncertainty," continues Evert, "cane hane with me." They take leave of Pieter's hosts and catch the train, hiding behind Gerrmn language newspapers and not speaking. �-5- On her frequent trips to Allamar, Jannie always take her little boys to see their Dad. Little Nico doesn't recognize him, but Kees {Keith) does. On one of her visits she becanes pregnant, a dangerous condition with her husband gone and one not easily explained. One day, after a visit to her hairdresser, she was fol lowed. She entered the V and D department store through the rm.in entrance on the Ridder Straat and shopped long enough to know she had not been followed into the store. She then exited out the back door on the La.at Straat and quickly Nilked to her nnther's, just a block away. "ffllen he hears it, Pieter is desperately worried. She has to take extraordinary care to visit him. He cannot return hane. It is l\'la.y 1945. The C£rnllns have been fleeir,g for nnnths, sensing imninent defeat. The Netherland's Resistance has been gaining strength and numbers for the same reason. The unit in Allamar, now 700 men, controls key points within the city, at least at night. The lightly armed men must stay in hiding 1rost of the da.y. The Csnadian First Army is sighted on May 8 and three officers of the Resistance assemble at city hall to await the First's triumphant entry into the city. Doctor Nico Louis walks up and greets the officers, whan he has not seen in a year. nlt is finally over." The year in hiding after Fransje de Munk ms captured at his office has taken its toll • .An orderly approaches, "Are you Dr. Louis?" "Yes." "Fransje de Munk's father is in the city, armed and looking for you." Nico quickly leaves knowing that he is the cause of her death. captain Vels Heyn and the two other officers run into city hall. After a short discussion with Captain Muris, Vels Heyn orders a five man patrol to disarm the distraught father and bring him in. Lieutenant Cblonel Gcmlag receives him, explains the circumstances leading to his daughter's death and convinces him of her guilt. Her father is crushed. "I won't trouble you again,IT he says, and leaves the city. The third officer, Lieutenant Pieter Terma.at, contemplates how the lives of two men frcxn Kampen crossed in Alkrmar. The marriage of policeman Jacob van Di jk 's uncle to Pieter's aunt was the link that allowed Jacob, by chance, to become his cousin's rescuer. kbt/escapel 2/ 07/ 86 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jacoby Laura McCall, Friday 9 a.m. December 9, 1981 .. �-----, -- ·- ---- - li:TRODUC.. lOh My Oma (rrandma) was born and raised in the Netherlands. By tracing her childhood in the 1920's and 19JO's, the similarities be~ween a European and an American upbringing become apparent, These similarities are found in education, relations to parents, siblings and friends, and attitudes toward sex, work, and marriage. There is also a personal historical interest. By researching my heritage, I learned about a part of myself. ~y life has been influenced by my Oma directly and my father indirectly by her upbringing. Learning about my Oma's early life also helps me to understand several aspects of her present attitudes and beliefs, which in turn has strengthened our relationship. �I.. -1- ·" born in ~iiernen, -the j;ec.:-,erl2.:--1ds, in 1916. Both of iier parents' fa'Tlilies were farmers, Ler father from wheat farmers and her mother from dairy farmers. l-ier father did not become a farmer because he only wished to own and operate a farm on a large scale, which was not done in such a tiny, overpopulated country. He started a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, but his plans fell through when World war I broke out. He had to return and serve in the army or not return to the Netherlands for fifteen years. .. His fiance, who was to follow him to Canada, insisted that he return because she would probably never see her-family ~gain_ if she moved to Canada. For this reason Adriana "was born a Dutch citizen and not a Canadian", While her father was serving in the war, Adriana's mother lived with her parents on the dairy farm. It was here and because of these circumstances that Adriana was born in the same room in the same bed as her own mother. ;:3oon after the \var, the family moved to Hillego.m. This was a small town whose main occupation was growing bulbs for the flower industry. Adriana remembered "the delicious fra- grance of these bulbs in the spring.". They moved again in 1919 to Warlem where her father became a manager in a transportation firm. Harlem was a much larger old town and the setting for most of her childhood memories. In 1927, when Adriana was eleven, her family moved to Amsterdam because of her father's promotion to man~ger of the main office. Her fathGr purchased a partnership in an Alkmaar transportation firm in 1928.

I've mentioned the movements of the .3chuurman family during Adriana's years at home because they illustrate several aspects of her family life. The family was fairly well off, comparable to the American upper middle class, because of her father's rapid raise in the business world, These promotions led the family to move often, but they never lived further than twenty miles from the coast, Adriana has .many memories asso~__ _ --:: - . -·- -=--~·- -:-=.·· • •_ - · :,;, • - - - - • .....c:. ciated with the ocean, ranging from hours ~pent on the beach and sand dunes to storm winds and rain rattling on their red clay roof. Also, the family always lived in cities, although the children were exposed to farm life through farming relatives, Several technological advances came into the home during Adriana's years at home, The first one she recalled was the - . - telephone conversation, around 1919, between her father and his brother-in-law. VJhen it was her mother's turn to speak she thought that her brother was drinking beer because she· could smell it over the phone, one with the beer, Actually, her husband was the It was something so new that her mother had confused what senses could receive messages over the phone. Technologic advances such as the telephone eased life at home and work, Educational trends were very similar on either side of the ' Atlantic Ocean.

She Her parents did not have to pay ex"tra for the private school since each family had a certain amount of tax money for the education of each child which they could spend in either private, parochial, ar public schools, Classes went from eight o'clock in the morning until four-thirty in the afternoon. there was plenty of homework. After school Grammar school was a six-year program with only six weeks of vacation per ye~r ~ four i~ the summer and one each for Christmas and Easter. Because school was such a compact, intense program children rarely worked during their school years. On Saturday afternoons Adriana ·had piano lessons to fill out her busy schedule. Every morning the students had a religious lesson for half an hour which progressed into a Bible reading as they got older. They also had a church history course twice a week. French began in fifth grade. The other grade school courses consisted of basic academics such as mathematics, Dutch, reading, etc. There was an atmosphere of discipline and respect among students for their teachers. Students stood up when the prin- ciple entered the classroom. They responded to questions with two words1 "yes, sir'' or "no, sir". Approximately half of the teachers were women, and they were primarily in the lower grades. Adriana's favorite teacher was the woman who taught her french and geometry for three years. by her, She felt stimulated there was much encouragement to work bard and learn more. ..! �,... - Adriana has very fond ~omo~i e s o~ f.er childhood t . ~ause each child was treated as an indi~i du~l. ~he ~as never asked to help around the house (except supper dishes) or help take care of her brother and sisters while she was enrolled fulltime in school. lot too. Her parents demanded a lot, but they gave a Her father would help her with her homework, but more often he would encourage her with "Oh, you can do it.". She always had a very safe feeling at home. Only one room was heated during the winter, but the kithen was warm when the stove was on.

She was expected to look nice and neat during their visits, not the haggled housewife. Mrs. Schuurman had at least ten pregnancies. resulLed in healthy children: Only fi v e four within the first six years of marriage and the last when she was ~ 45. During the twelve- year gap between children she had~ baby die and at least four miscarriages. Adriana, who was 18 at the time of the last pregnancy, knew how physically and emotionally difficult this was for her mother. Upon hearing the news, her _response was: "Oh Mom, you are so old. I wishv I could do that for you! ". The births and deaths of the babies all took place within the home. ~hen Adriana's sister died two days after her birth, the little casket was surrounded by flowers and placed in the �-5- 1 .

Because her mother was gentle. and understanding with her young children at the time of death in the family, death was not a scary experience for Adriana and her brother and sisters. Adriana was the eldest child in a family of one boy and three girls. Another sister was born 18 years after Adriana and raised as an only child, who was only one year younger, Adriana was closest to her brother, He was her best friend until she was about twelve because "theri he develo.pe·d fnto a ·boy and_ things were different.", Her two sisters were- also very close, -- -- -·-::;; , - ·•,7 Adriana never felt forced to play feminine games, in contrast to Goodfriend and Christie's statement that " ... female children have been expected to conform to more restrictive definitions of suitable behavior than those imposed on the , males,""': I believe that Adriana's parP.nts were unusually un- derstanding in the case of their daughters. Adriana was not too fascinated with dolls because they weren't alive, so her brother and she would often try to dres·s the cat. .. --=- Other games included jlli~p rope, cards, marbles, bingo, row dancing (with other girls), and hockey, Adriana was also an avid reader, especially books about far-away places such as Africa and the North Pole, Adriana's family had strong ties with her father's brothers and sisters. Family gatherings were ¼iuen-t-, considering the travel time, and remembered as big, happy events, to play with her J6 cousins, mostly boys. Adriana loved ~he reunions were held on a cousins farm where the children could swing in the .....f �hay, JUXp small ca~ a l s , and ha~e w~ :e ~ fich : s. were also spent on he~ aun~•s fan~. Sure~er vaca~ions ~he usually helped her aunt prepare meals for the hungry men in the field, but when she brough~ out their lunches she would ask all sorts of questions and so she learned how to recognize the various crops and care for the farm animals, Thus through her large family Adriana became acquainted with farm life, The family attended the Reformed Church every Sunday, even du~ing the summer on the farm when they had to take horse and buggy to town and back--sometimes twice a day, long and cold in ·the unheated church. Services were f1:embers could rent foot wanners (a piece of coal in a box) for ten cents. The foot warmers were piled high as you came in, emanating a peculiar odor. cologne, Inside, the church smelled of pepp8rmint candy and The chairs were placed on planks that covered the old gravestones. Adriana tried to decifer the names and dates to pass the time as a child, All children sat with their parents durine the service and attended Sunday School afterwards ·when they were older. Th e wo~en s a t in ~he middle of the church on chairs and the men surrounded them in pews, a custom remaining from the Middle Ages, Women held no offices within the church. one female minister during her entire childhood, Adriaria saw 4 rare sight. There was a strong women's organization in the church whose· primary function was visiting sick members of the congregation. Similar trends were found during ~his period in America-~ wom e n's ~roups functioninc in extensions of their tradi+ional roles and an obvious lack of women professionals--according to Robin Jacoby (11/16). ....,I �. .·~--- .. . . . ... -( ~ , \ / As students got olde~, rr.ore studen • £ • dropped out of school. The mandatory ace was fourteen In the r~e t~erlands and six teen in America. But the trend was for incre.1.sing amounts o"f adolescents to finish high school and attend college, especi~lly in the middle class. Even if they did attend college though, both European and American.girls found the socia~ly acceptable •. I • •' . •. •• • professional possibilities very limited--teaching, nursing, social work, and clerical work, And these were ~obs were just to fill in the gap between high school and marriage. Dutch students started high school at age 12, continuing their highly structured curriculum. Four·langua,ges 1n addi- · tion to six, seven, or eight other classes were required, -~he language requirement was a necessity in order for the students to be able to communicate with their neighboring countries. Many more people spoke English, French, and German than Dutch, Adriana took extra courses that weren't required to graduate in bookkeeping and commercial law. She completed the entire ten year education program with her parents' support, help, and encouragement. Adriana had a better education than her brother and sisters, Her brother had a business waiting for him, so he only learned_ what he needed to know for the business. One sister was not interested in school and another wanted more, along-with Adriana. Her youngest sister attended finishing school after grammar school. For the next five or six years she learned languages and art and music appr~ciation. The girls who went to finishinc; school came from families who did not expect them to earn their own living, but still receive a good education. Other options for schooling, aside from high school, were ... - ... ' �-b.J Latin school, trade schools, and household schools (cooking, sewing, household management, art, etc.). Latin school was required of students planning to attend Law School, Medical School, or the Seminary. Few women were enrolled in such a professionally-geared program. The options for women after high school were limited, especially for those who were interested in higher education. The prevailing opinion in Holland was that girls did not need more education for her task as wife and mother. But if she did not marry, she should have a means of suppor1.. Adrian'a wanted to go on and continue her education, either at Law School or the Gymnasium, but this was considered unnecessary for a girl--especially considering the economic climate in 19J2. She was expected to carry her own load after g~aduation from high school at 16. She went to work in her father's business and attended business school four nights a week for two years. Adriana had a mutual understandine with her father that she would go to work for him, even though it was not her greatest desire. She wanted to work, as did most girls her age. What was unusual was her wish to enter male-dominated occupations. Adriana was her father's ~ight hand at work. Her respon- sibilities included answering phones, typing, handling the cash flow, and eventually bookkeeping. She learned a lot about conducting a business through handling so many transactions. Her father would sometimes ask her opinion, but then not follow up on them, This frustrated Adriana because she thought she had given good advice. On other occasions he would order her to do a task and if Adriana hesitated he would say "this busi- �-9- ness is run like the army; do as your ,:;old, then ask questions.". Adriana would refuse because she "was responsible for her own actions" and would act accordingly, Then her father would smile, he was just testing her and he was proud of her response, All of ~he employees worked long hours to keep the business going during the Depression and Adriana learned how difficult it was to keep afloat during hard times. She also spent Saturday afternoons cleaning the office without pay, Adriana worked for her father for seven years, but she was nev€r considered for a management position, The business was bought for her brother to succeed her father, Adriana was only spending the interim period between high school and marriage at the company, Although Adriana was now expected to help pay for her food, clothing, etc., she was never allowed to actually handle these transactions. Her earnings went automatically to her mother. -when Adriana protested, her father said, "Your mother knows how to handle money, if you are not happy you can leave the house,", This was not an unusual practice, most girls turned their paychecks over to their families, It was a point of contention between Adreana and her parents, money, but was only given an allowance, She made good Her parents saved money for her also, and presented it as a handsome wedding present, all their linens. Adriana never handled her own money until the day she married, At home, Adriana's father always kept a certain distance from his daughters. He wasn't cold, he just didn't get emotionally involved in their lives. This was noticeable, in �-10- one respect, by the great modesty the girls had around their father and his total absense from their bedroom, looked after her physical appearance. Her mother Adriana was encouraged to be clean and neat, not too fussy about her appearance, Mrs. Schuurman didn't want her children to grow up before their time. Two exceptions for Adriana were wetting her hair with sugar water to set curls and wearing bows on Sunday. had her first permanent. At 18, she It was never an issue whether or not she had long hair because her hair would never grow past her shoulders. Her undergarments was not as confining as her mother's, but she had a full figure and wanted support. always wore sturdy, practical clothes, no variety. Adriana This was partially due to the Depression. Mary Ryan expressed that, in America, the center of teenagers' social lives were relationships with their peers, . ~specially heterosexual ties. 3 Adrian emphasized this subcul- ture in her life when she joined the National Youth Organization at 17 or 18. The Organization was patriotically oriented~ often inviting guest speakers or their own members to present stimulation lectures on politics and government. "We solved a lot of the world's problems in our meetings," The group was also socially active for its members. There were approximately fifty members, half women. They biked to Belgium, went by bus to Germany, and to the 1937 World's Fair in Paris. It was ~ere that Adriana first realized the great differences between herself (a "good" Dutch middle class young woman) and the people from foreign countries. �-11- People were sleepin~ in the s~reets. She saw drunks and more poor people than she'd ever seen in Holland, She also went underground for the first time when she rode the subway. It was an eye-opening experience, and an unusual one for a single young woman, Most of her peers did not go on unchaperoned trips to neighboring countries. Adriana was allowed to go be- caouse they stayed in Youth Hostels which had segregated dorms and curfews. And, more importantly, her parents trusted her. Adriana had several boyfriends that she met through the Organization, but they rarely paired off because dating under the age of 18 was done as a group. Their activities include~ bicycling, beach walking, skating, movies, political debating groups, singing, and church projects. The activities were kept in line by enforcing a strict curfew on the girls. The guys didn't think the activities were any fun without the girls, sothey complied with the rules. After 18, when dating was done on a more one-to-one basis, young unmarried women faced a double-standard concerning sexuality in America (Jacoby, 11/16) and in Europe. As a female, Adriana had to set the .standards to maintain her respectibility without seeming prudish, She never went out with more than one fellow at a time, or else she would be considered "fast". It was up to Adriana to learn everything she knew about her body and birth control. She learned from books because no doctors or her mother would explain the facts to her. Her sisters were too young to under~tand and Adriana was secretive toward her friends about such matters. On her 18th birthday Adriana received the only advice her mother ever gave her �- l ,~ - concerning sexu2.li ty. .r,er mother had been pregnant on her wedding day and felt it was a biG mistake, even though she was 26 years old, Adriana never forgot this. She often had sexual desires, but the fear of pregnancy always overcame her desire. She didn't trust the crude birth control methods of the time enough to let down her guard. Adriana met her future husband in the Youth Organization, They started dating when she was 19 and Pieter Termaat was 21. They were engaged a year later. Most women married men they met in organizations, church, or college, ie. close to home. Because Adriana was responsible and independent, she didn't want to burden her parents with her own financial problems by marrying right away without enough money saved up to live comfortably with her new husband. So their engagement lasted for three years, until Adriana was 23 (1939), During this prolinged engagement Adriana stood by her belief in no :~remarital sex. This caused some pressure within their rela- tionship, both within herself and Pieter. But she felt it was worth the wait in comparison to ·the possibility of a premature pregnancy when they couldn't afford it. Pieter respected her decision, which made matters slightly easier. Getting married was a fact of life to Adriana, although at one point she said she would not--perhaps in rebellion to her parents' saving her work earnings for her future marriage. But she was the first to marry in her family. didn't marry, including one of her sisters. Some women Lyda couldn't see herself alsays caring for others, she wanted something for herself. In large families there was often one girl who never �•. L _3- rrarriec, either by choice or for lac:: of prospects. But in 'iJestern culture, both iunerican and E:J.ropean, as the Depression ceased to be so harsh "more young pecple were marrying and 4 more were having children sooner", ~driana and Pieter were defini ·tely a part of this ~renc. _., COHCLUSI 01: ~iddle class women growing up ciuri~g the 1920's and 19JO's in Europe and America shared many aspects of their lives. Their education was socially influenced toward traditional professions such as nursing and teaching, and the relatively new clerical field, And when they did start to work, their families had control of their earnings. The family had a strong hold on the girls' activities, expecially before they turned 18, He~erosexual ties were very important, although many activities were done as a group, Once the young women started to date they were faced with pressures on two fronts, to retain their respectibility and still be accepted by their friends, ~arriage was considered a natural ending to their young adulthood in most cases, ··mothers. They were raised to be wives and With all these similarities and more, it is easy to conclude that the female experience did not vary much on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, he and brother Michiel are in the Netherlands to commemorate the liberation of our home town, Alkmaar. Dad asked me to substitute for him. / Keith B.Terma.at On this , t he 40th commemoration of Victory-Europe Day, I consider it an honor to address the American born veterans, who, when Japan, Germany , and Italy declared war on our country, stood ready for our common defense. They succeeded beyond imagination in keeping our shores free from enemy invasion. As the years pass and human events as glorious as these victories fade away, these veterans, some of them among us, erected a monument of courageous achievement unique in the history of our country. Across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans they brought freedom to entire nations and halted the operation of satanic extermination camps across the world. One of those freed was a 5 year old boy on Victory-Europe Day, who wrote the following after attending one of the liberation commemorations in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in September, 1984: · �NIJMEGEN. September 16, 1984 War planes scudded in low across the horizon, et first heard but not seen. The sound thundering, as the child in me stood helplessly exposed in the gloom. Then I sew them, Fokkers in formation! Then bombers, some two tailed, silhouetted against the overcast sky. Memories came rushing t,ck from my youth, when I had cowered against e hedge unprotected against that ·sound. It had been made by Allied war planes on their way to Germany. And also by planes that brought us food. But now, today, here in Nijrnegen, my fear faded as it became still ••• ••• as again men dropped from the sky, silently, amazingly quickly and virtually helpless to guide the course of their parachutes. Forty years had passed for the men of the 82nd Airborne Division, yet some, even though in their sixties, jumped again. This time the sound of cheers end applause replaced the explosions of anti-aircraft batteries and sharp reports of small arms fire. As before, they landed where their chutes took them, in trees and fields and on top of others already on the ground. Eighty-second Airborne members who had not jumped this time, motored in convoy with World War II military vehicles. Netherlanders stood by the road-side as they had before. Old women cried. Men fiashed the victory sign and thumt::6-up to the veterans who freed them forty years ago. Wave! Urged by their mothers, the children waved as I had in another time and another town. In the reviewing stand, old comrades exchanged stories and asked questions. Some had not known that the bridge at Nijmegen was 'the last bridge to be taken, and held, in Operation Market Garden. That the Waal river had been the war-front from September 1944 until May 1945. Now they knew that Netherlanders starved North of the Waal because the Nazis robbed the population of food during that terrible "hunger winter" of 1944. They heard that Jan van Hoof, of the B.S.( Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten,the Nether land's Internal Forces) had swum the swift current and struggled up the main bridge support. How he disabled the Nazi explosive charge to enable the Allied bridgehead across the Waal. �The night before, the veterans of the 82nd Airborne had been decorated by the grateful citizenry of the city of Nijmegen. They were awarded the bronze Erasmus medal for persiste~e in freeing the Netherlands from tyranny. While dining, it was whispered •General Gavin is here!" The respect was still there for the man who led them. Men, now fathers and grandfathers in the autumn of their years, still maintained a distance. , For many, Market Garden had been the peak event of lives lived in the ordinary pursuits of the middle class. Most had never been back ... until now. They came to reconnect with that awesome and dangerous event. Some had difficulty walking, others remained vigorous. Some came alone, others brought wives, and several, grown children. The care-worn and the cheerful, the well-to-do and those of modest means, the !rail and the healthy, came beck. They came to honor their buddies who lay buried in the soil of the land they liberated. And also to celebrate and party with today 1s Netherlanders. Surprised at the gratitude the people freely expressed for what had been, for each man of the 82nd Airborne, simply " doing my job ". I was that five year old boy on Victory-Europe Day. For me, these days helped make me whole. My youth in the Netherlands now connects more with my life as an American. In a real sense I was treed this September in Nijmegen. K. B. Te rma.a t 10/1/1984 �Even now, after forty years, I stand in awe of the massive and spontaneous reaction of that liberated nation as their people poured into the streets in honor df American born veterans. To the Dutch, those veterans were truly the means in God's hand to liberate those who had suffered so much and so long and who had been captives and slaves in their own land. '--v u- -\c-"'1--,.,..._~ _ l" ,.__, , �., Biographical Sketch I was born in Alkrnaar, Noord Hol ]and just 13 days before the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands. My early nanories include the CaT{)any of Nazi horse stationed near our fEITlily hane, the Nazi search for my Father in our hane, the taking of civilian men at Nazi gunpoint, the Allied airdrops of food, ft!,1 first ever white breed and weiners, and the victorious entry . of the liberating Ol.nadian forces into Alkrnaar. The memory of the sound and sight of l'ffissed military aircraft is particularly vivid for me. My participation in Nijrregen's 40th anniversary of ~eration Market Garden , which freed the South of the Netherlends in September 1944, rmved me to write this article. Kei th(Kees) B.
