Project Connects Americans to Dutch Honoring WWII Relatives
In the decades since June West Brandt's older brother was killed in World War II, she has never forgotten her kind and artistic sibling.
Brandt, 93, was delighted to discover that a Dutch couple, Lisa and Guido Meijers, regularly visit a marker for her brother at a Netherlands cemetery.
“It’s wonderful for me to know that someone is there,”
said Brandt, who lives near Houston. This introduction came through a new initiative aiming to connect family members of those buried and remembered at the World War II cemetery with Dutch people who have adopted each one.
This project increases connections between Americans and the Dutch honoring WWII relatives. Author summary: Project connects Americans with Dutch honoring WWII relatives at cemetery.
