Back to A Forgotten Suitcase: The Mantello Rescue Mission »
Most Dutch Jews were sent to either the Auschwitz or Sobibor death camps. However, many with Salvadoran certificates, such as Alfred, Edith, and Isi Van der Horst, were instead sent to a special camp for foreign nationals in Bergen-Belsen. Alfred Van der Horst died of disease in Bergen-Belsen, Edith died in April shortly before liberation. Their eight-year-old son Isi (Isaac) survived the Holocaust.
