“It’s a miracle.” Eva Weyl (90) from Amsterdam could hardly believe it when she unexpectedly saw Wolfgang polak (91) in Dortmund last september after 83 years. During the⁢ Second World War, they were both imprisoned⁣ in Camp Westerbork in Drenthe, from⁣ where over 100,000 Jews, Roma and Sinti were deported to the concentration⁣ and extermination⁤ camps. The vast majority were murdered there by the Nazis.

National Holocaust Remembrance

Today, the victims of the Holocaust are commemorated⁤ during National Holocaust Remembrance in Wertheimpark in Amsterdam. The NOS will broadcast this live from 11.00-12.45, online‍ and on NPO 1. There will be speeches by, among ⁣others, Mayor Halsema and actor and artist Jeroen krabbé.

In ⁤the evening, there ‍will be a retrospective ‍with special attention to ⁣Camp Westerbork.This can be⁣ seen from 19.25-20.11 on NPO 2.

Weyl has been giving ‍lectures at schools about the Second World war for eighteen years, mainly in Germany.As an eyewitness ⁣to the‍ holocaust, she‍ wants to warn young people about what ⁢can happen when people are systematically excluded as of thier background.

Conversation overheard

After one of those lectures, Weyl is chatting in a café in Dortmund when she is approached by Wolfgang Polak’s wife. ⁣She has overheard part⁣ of the conversation about Camp⁤ Westerbork and says that her husband was also in the camp. They⁤ live nearby and she calls her husband,who promptly comes to the café.

“I couldn’t say anything,” Polak ⁣says about that ⁣meeting. “We were there in that camp. ⁤And then you meet ⁤that girl from back then 83 years later. We are both ⁤still‍ alive.”
