About Hetty Verolme

Werkendam NL 2015

With a determined spirit and a penchant for public speaking Hetty has never ceased expressing herself about this dreadful time in history. In her later years Hetty has crusaded tirelessly with a strong belief, that communication with young students will help the next generation to understand that these events really did happen and that they can keep the knowledge and the truth of the Holocaust alive, by spreading the word and passing it down to their own children.
