siblings unlock a suitcase with mysterious contents inside that revealed their parents’ dark secret

What To Do?

On one hand, he wanted to let the world know about the video and on the other, he thought about his parents who did not want this video to come out of that suitcase. He said, “My parents never spoke about the war and didn’t want to deal with what happened.”   

Sharing The Film With The World

However, Boers decided to put the video to the light. Boers who serves as a chairman of the Center for Research of Dutch Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem finally took the decision. Boers put the video on YouTube and also shared it with the film archive of the province of Friesland’s staff. 

Amazing

Boers explains their reaction, “They fell off their chairs. They had been looking for years for documentation of the life of the local Jewish community and had reconciled themselves to the fact that it didn’t exist. ”

Here It Is

Frisian Film Archive’s archivist, Syds Wiersma said, “for decades we’ve been looking for footage from the Jewish community before the war, and now here it is.” 

Offers Hope

The film not only depicts life before the war but more than that. “It offers hope — hope that not all the people in that film died in the camps, that a few managed to escape, after all,” Syds explained. 

Only Video

The Holocaust had nearly destroyed the Frisian Jewish community. And this video happens to be the only video featuring Frisian Jewish community before the tragic event. No doubt, it gathered views in lacs once the Frisian Film Archive launched it out. Don’t you want to watch the video?
