Arnhem op de vlucht

Writer Ineke Inklare: 'The war has been going on for four years. People are hungry and insecure.' The procession in which the then 8-year-old John Joep Visser is walking is shot at by an English plane. Joop ten Klooster and 17 others are lovingly taken in by a farmer. Others fare less well: Clasien Jacobs sleeps in a stable with mice and rats. When the Arnhem residents return, they find their houses in ruins and looted. The Red Cross starts the Red Cross Aid Campaign, H.A.R.K. Because notables were the first to be served, the abbreviation soon stood for Help to Rich Acquaintances.
