Alie (94) Survived Bombing: 'The House Was Lying Face Down, Furniture Stuck Out of the Rubble'
Ninety-four-year-old Alie Henkelmann recounts surviving the March 3, 1945 bombing of her home in The Hague's Bezuidenhout district. As a nearly 13-year-old, she hid in a neighbor's cellar with her family while her father avoided capture using a forged ID; upon emerging, they found their house destroyed. Decades later, Henkelmann shares these wartime memories, including the Hunger Winter hardships, with schoolchildren to educate them about daily life during the occupation.
