| 79 | Comment by Mr Eli Schaap (New York), pers. comm. Nov. 2021): “My grandfather owned a milk and cheese store; not a butcher shop. He was very well connected in the Orthodox Jewish community, and he probably was indeed able to get kosher meat for the orphanage during WWII. Also, most of my grandmother’s family (Naatje Keizer) were kosher butchers in Zwolle and Utrecht which may also have provided a connection for securing kosher meat.” |
