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 kept his memory alive. Her brother, a kind and artistic person who loved to play boogie-woogie on the piano, has never been far from her mind.
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.
The introduction to the Meijers came through a new initiative aiming to increase connections between family members of those buried or remembered at the WWII cemetery and the Dutch people who have adopted each one.
