World War 2 in the Netherlands:

The story of Ben Vandhelden, a young boy whose life came to a pounding change just after one day.

 

 

           My postmemory is of my grandfather, Benjamin VanHelden who grew up in Southern Rotterdam. At the age of 10 which was 1939, World War 2 had begun. The war than came to the the Netherlands on May 10th, 1940. His story of what his life was like surviving this war is unreal. I will tell you his story of survival, the people around him and the history of this War in the Netherlands which was the most devastated country during the War.
