Max van Praagh in the middle surrounded by his family. To his left is my grandmother Nel van Praagh-Blom. On the far right, her son Toon. Yes, and you can actually see from this photo, the seat and the way Max looks, that this is an exception. Because usually my Grandpa Sallie takes the photos, but because my mother is not in it, you can see from the face of Max the alleged relationship with my mother who probably took this photo. Further above right my mothers younger sister Wil above the Aunt whose name I don't know. This also applies to the family above my grandmother what good be her sister Maria, if anyone knows their names please let me know. It is in the backyard on Prins Hendriklaan in Rijswijk in 1943.
A moment out in Oisterwijk in 1937 sisters and sisters-in-law. In the middle Sallie's wife, Nel my grandmother. Who, like my grandfather, was imprisoned during the war in the Oranjehotel in Scheveningen for helping people in hiding. Moreover, my grandmother was also moved to the Vucht prison camp for this purpose, which later caused her unpleasant mental problems.
About 1937 a photo of my mother Marianne van Praagh and my Grandma, Sallie's wife.
Rijswijk and the walking distence
on the wedding day of their daughter Jonnie with Jan van der Eijk, my father and mother on May 22, 1949 in Rijswijk.
It must have been around the early summer of 1943 that this photo was taken by Sallie in the backyard of Prins Hendriklaan 42, Rijswijk. His daughters are Annie, Willy and Jonnie, with Janny in the front middle.

The 3 brothers and 2 sisters lived close to each other in Rijswijk before the war, within a radius of 300 meters. The Van Praagh family often had contact with each other in this way.
on the wedding day of their daughter Jonnie with Jan van der Eijk, my father and mother on May 22, 1949 in Rijswijk.
Just before the war, the entire Van Praagh family was photographed. Sallie in the top center used the self-timer to take the photo. With a cigar, but pay particular attention to his slightly fatter face that he will not get back after the war. On the right his wife Nel and on the left my mother Jonnie and below Willy, Toon and Annie on a sunny day in the spring of 1940.
After the war in early 1946, everyone went upstairs to the balcony terrace at the back at Prins Hendriklaan 42 for this family photo, because there was more light and space to take the photo, as Sallie thought, who took the photo. From top right Shlomo Bezek and in front of him his girlfriend Janny looking at the eldest son of Shlomo with Alice de Vries his first wife. On the other side next to Ar…
