Because we live in the house of resistance-fighter Johan van Beem  we want to keep his 🏠 and memory safe for future generations. I just visited the grave, full of flowers 🌹 of Jan Bonekamp in IJmuiden.

But before that: I asked a man on a bike if he knew where the entrance of the cemetary was. We started to talk. His whole family was killed in concentration camps. Only his father survived WWII. His mother had been a friend of Truus Oversteege (whom I also met, wrote with and posess an aquarelpainting of). An impressive rencontre . . .
