All images on this web site are mine except for a very small number where indicated. At some sites, like museums, etc. photography was not allowed. For these sites, images were from postcards. The images associated with the Anne Frank family were from their web site. These were used to complete the story I was trying to tell.
The text in these pages were from a number of references and edited by me. I did the best I could to verify the accuracy of the data. A few of the images I could not identify, but I didn't want to leave it out.
