    Overview

    Collection Summary
    The collection documents the wartime experiences of the Sietsema and Zomer families, originally from the Netherlands. Documents consist of two letters regarding the imprisonment of Pieterdina Sietsema and her daughters Katherine and Henrietta, all three American citizens, in Liebenau internment camp from 1942-1944. Objects consist of patriotic ribbon worn by Hilda Zomer after the Netherlands was liberated, and ten woven "trinkets" made at Liebenau by Pieterdina and her daughters Katherine and Henrietta: box, 2 napkin rings, 2 round pins, 1 bar pin, 2 hat pins, 1 hat, and 1 cluster of flowers.
    Provenance
    The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2019 by Anna Margaret Binder, the paternal granddaughter of Pieterdina Sietsema.
