A letter of Queen Wilhelmina

This letter of 26 July 1946, sent to André's brotherJo Polanus, shows the respect of Queen Wilhelmina by the death of André Polanus.  Translated text in English:

As an illegal worker, your brother Andre Jacques, whom you now mourn, was arrested and taken to Poland, where he brought the sacrifice of his life. At this loss I come to express my sincere condolences. Our freedom is partly due to his sacrifice. May his memory remain a support in your future life.  WILHELMINA
