My grandfather Jack Groothuis was born in 1944 in Vught, a small town in the Netherlands. Jack's mother Helen made the difficult choice to place my grandfather into hiding with a Christian family named the van den Meerendonks. This object written on September 11, 1945, is a letter between the family and Jack’s aunt Marian Schechter, who lived in an apartment on Riverside Drive in New York City.
