CNN — Relatives of four Dutch children killed by the Nazis have described their sadness after being told their identity tags were found in the ruins of a death camp. He told CNN: “I felt it was my duty to find the living relatives of Annie and David, to tell them what was found in the damned Sobibor land and to hear from them the story of their almost extinct family. Dr. Richard Kool Sheryl, who lives in Seattle, told CNN: “I was very surprised because I knew nothing about David and that part of the family.” She added: “The Holocaust was so dehumanizing. Yoram Hai Her brother, who lives in Canada, told CNN: “David’s name tag has reminded me of the grief that my grandmother and so many others, who by luck or intent managed to avoid the fate of their murdered family members, must have carried with them to the end of their days.” ‘A voice from beyond the grave’ Annie’s aluminum tag was found near a mass grave. She said: “The tangible evidence of their lives that were brutally ended upon their arrival at the Sobibor unloading ramp allow us not only to discover their history, but also to pass it on to the next generations and to keep the victims’ memory alive.”
