EXAMIN WWII LETTERS, TO PAINT OR DRAW IN THE ARTBOOK?

To read and examin the WWII letters of my family (Arnold & Sjoerd Baukes van der Schuit), to paint 'Vincent, Gauguin, Meijer and Ilja' or to draw in my Artbook-diary is a difficult choice at the moment because the railway sleeper on top of the iron meadow-window needs repainting in Bretonblue as well. The iron postbox needs to be painted and the painting on the cave-doors of Lénaïk has to be varnished. But . . . the letters, written 80 years ago, are of course priority number 1.

WWII MY FATHER'S PRISONER-OF-WAR IRON BOX: TORGAU/ELBE 1943

So many letters were written in pencil, (not easy to read after more than 80 years) because it had to be possible for the nazis to erase text. It is the first time since WWII that these Torgau/Haarlem letters see the daylight.

BOOK: BUREAU SMEDESTRAAT 9

On 6-6-2024, the 80th D-Day in the City hall of Haarlem a very interesting book is presented by Guus Hartendorf about the resistance in Haarlem during the Second World War: 'Bureau Smedestraat 9'.

Guus is author (of more than 30 books), former police-commissioner, former-journalist and historian. To-day Guus visited us with his new book (a valuable gift) in which my grandfather Sjoerd is mentioned. For Guus, as a historian, I think it was also very special to enter the house of resistance fighter Van Beem because he knows and wrote so much about Johan van Beem.
