Overview
- Collection Summary
- The de Kadt family home movies show typical daily family life, with special attention paid to young children Wilhelmina and Martin, as well as rare scenes of the family’s condensed milk factory, which opened in De Rijp, Netherlands in May 1941, a year after the Nazi invasion. Most of the family scenes were filmed between 1940 and 1942. In August 1942 Martin and Wilhelmina’s grandparents found the children hiding places with two Christian families; only their grandmother survived and was liberated from Bergen-Belsen.
