Marriage photograph of Robert Belinfante, the donor's brother, with his Jewish wife.
After the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, Bob and his wife tried to commit suicide. Bob left a note, "Mother, don't grieve about us because we wouldn't have been happy in a world like that." His wife was pregnant at that time. Bob died, his wife survived, but she lost the baby. She died a year later while in hiding.
