Philip van Gelder was a diamond worker. Several cards and letters of him remain, written from labour camp Ruinen between 24 May and 21 June 1942. There also is a letter written by him from Westerbork in the beginning of September 1942. From there he 'voluntarily' went on transport to accompany his wife to 'the east'.
