Almost 57,000 Jews who were deported from the Netherlands during the Second World War died in Auschwitz and its satellite camps. It is an unimaginable number, but the impersonal numbers concern entire families, a father, a mother, a grandfather and grandmother, a spouse, a sister, a brother...They continue to live through their names.
