Its such a shame that these intelligent women did all this work during the war, but after the men came back it was as if they were second class citizens again. I wish there were more documentaries about this role women played in the war and in fact memorials as well recogizing their efforts.

It might have had something to do with the fact that the men had been through absolute hell and at the very least deserved decent jobs.

** There's an English translation below the Dutch text ** Mijn opa woonde tijdens de oorlog als jongetje "naast" kamp Amersfoort. Zijn vader (G. Monkhorst, politie te amersfoort) , en een groot deel van het gezin, was zeer nauw betrokken bij het helpen van gevangen die in het buitencommando werkten met het ontsnappen uit het kamp, ontmoetingen met familieleden en briefwisselingen tussen gevangenen en de buitenwereld. Dit werd voor een stuk mogelijk gemaakt door een SS-er die vaste begeleider was van het buitencommando en van te voren aan de familie Monkhorst liet weten wie er in het commando zouden werken zodat contacten of ontsnappingen gepland en geregeld konden worden. Mijn oudoom heeft zijn herinneringen aan deze periode opgeschreven en ik ben bezig hier een leesbaar boek van te maken. Ik heb slechts een kopie van zijn werk waardoor de foto's heel slecht zijn en het helaas weinig zin heeft ze hier te plaatsen. Voor wat meer informatie ben ik natuurlijk altijd bereikbaar. ** English Translation of the above ** My Grandfather lived "next door" to Kamp Amersfoort as a little boy during the war. His father (G. Monkhorst, policeman in Amersfoort), and the majority of his family, was very involved in helping campmates who worked in the commando in the forest behind their house. They would help campmates with escapes, meetings with relatives and with passing notes to the outside world. This was made possible by a friendly SS-kommandant , the regular watcher of this commando, who would inform the Monkhorst family as to whom would be working in the fields so contacts or arrangements for escapes could be made. My great-uncle has written down his memories of this period and I am currently working on making it a proper book. Unfortunately I only have a copy of his work so the pictures are of very bad quality and there's not much use in putting them onhere. If you would like more information you can always contact me!
