Telling my Story to the World
When I was 9 years old I lived in Aartswoud, Holland. In 1940, Hitler's Nazis invaded my country and changed our lives forever. My family hid Jews from the Nazis to prevent them from being sent to concentration and death camps. This video is about my memories as a boy living in Nazi-occupied Holland from 1940 - 1945 and the hardships we endured.
Please share this video with your family and friends. Harry Andringa
