Dutch Nurse Follows Jewish Patient to Concentration Camp and Deportation

The case of a non-Jewish Dutch nurse who voluntarily followed a Jewish patient to a concentration camp and deportation is reported today by the Dutch news agency Aneta.

The nurse had been taking care of a Jewish youth, who had lost both of his legs in an accident, for several years when the Germans invaded Holland. She continued caring for the boy until last years when he was ordered to a concentration camp during the mass round-up of all Netherlands Jews by the Germans. When she heard that her patient was to be deported to Poland, the nurse asked the German authorities to allow her to go with him. Permission was granted. Both of them are now in Poland.
