Viviane's Story
Escape from Transport XX...Born 6 Months Later

by 

Viviane Yarom-Castegnier & Michel van der Burg

On the night of the 19th of April in 1943 – Viviane escaped in the womb of her pregnant mother from the Twentieth Train heading for Auschwitz.
Isabella Weinreb-Castegnier was three-months pregnant when she jumped that night in Belgium from the fast moving 20th Death Train to Auschwitz.
It was Passover eve and full moon.

Isabella escaped with a broken wrist and bruises all over her body, but no other major injuries.
Her daughter Viviane – meaning “full of life”, and named so for her will to live and hold tight in her mother’s womb – was born six months later on October 30, 1943 in Brussels, Belgium.

This e-booklet presents Viviane’s story with amazing new insights discovered together with the Dutch-Belgian author-reporter Simone Korkus of the man that helped Isabella jump to freedom – Elias Gnazik.

Quote | 20221103 | 1-memo•com | “Every day I make something. Then in the evening there’s something in the world that wasn’t there in the morning.
— Gemma Edelsteen | Marja Pinckaers

This echoes in my mind once in a while – part of the rationale for making daily 1-memo’s . First read these original Dutch* lines August 2014 — shortly after I carefully started publishing ‘① memo dailies’ June 2014 — in the Dutch paperback ’16 versie 61′ by Marja Pinckaers (publ. Aspekt ISBN 9789461535740 ).

Beta testing iA Presenter slide software prompted me trying this ‘text’ memo post.

*Original dutch text by Marja Pinckaers :
‘Elke dag maak ik wat. Dan is er ‘s avonds iets op de wereld wat er ‘s ochtends niet was. Of mischien toch, maar moest ik het nog zoeken en vond ik het. Uit.’

Note : The Dutch dissertation system has a tradition of accompanying the generally very specialised PhD thesis with ten or more propositions (other ‘theses’), that should be ‘defensible’, and while at least some should be related to the dissertation, others generally reflect the PhD candidate’s broader interests, and the last one is often playful.

Publisher’s description

Pancreatic islet transplantation by a new method is introduced here : the isolation of islets in an organ preservation solution, the University of Wisconsin solution. A new concept allowing for the first time large-scale isolation and transplantation of consistently near 100% pure islets of Langerhans in a preclinical dog model with fasting normoglycemia up to 3 years posttransplant. Detailed metabolic studies demonstrated normal insulin levels after meals with preservation of gut hormone action stimulating insulin secretion at the mild hyperglycemia after meals. The introduction of the University of Wisconsin solution organ preservation solution for islet isolation at the start of these studies in 1989 is a new concept … and has been shown by now in 2022 , world-wide , to make the future of islet isolation and transplantation methods for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

Illustration of Islet Isolation and Transplantation
(Captions at last page of the dissertation)

1. Paul Langerhans
2. Section of the normal dog pancreas showing islets stained reddish-brown (immunostained for insulin)
3. The author, watching the dog islet isolation procedure in the Minneapolis surgical research laboratory
4. Start of the operation in the dog (From left to right: Professor Hein G. Gooszen, Ms. M. Jane Field (Minneapolis), and Dr. Onno R. Guicherit, at our surgical laboratory)
5. The pancreas is removed
6. Infusion of the collagenase solution via the ducts in the dog pancreas – collagenase leaking from the pancreas is recirculated using a pump (Islet laboratory, at the Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Leiden)
7. During collagenase digestion at 37-39°C the pancreas falls apart (non-stained pancreatic exocrine tissue and free-ed small blood vessel, at low magnification)
8. Dissociated pancreatic tissue
9. Tissue is further dispersed by aspiration in a syringe, and sieved to remove undigested fragments, ducts and vessels ~ demonstrated by Ms. Jane Field at our islet laboratory.
10. Tissue suspension demonstrating low purity of the islets (stained red by dithizone) obtained by dextran gradient separation after isolation in the RPMI tissue culture solution (dark-brown exocrine fragments remain unstained)
11. Pure islet suspension (after dithizone staining) obtained by density separation in Percoll gradients (in University of Wisconsin solution) after islet isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution (islets are only slightly stained due to poor diffusion over the cell membrane in the preservation solution)
12. Section of highly purified islets obtained by dextran density separation after isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution
13. Islets are autotransplanted by infusion in the spleen of the dog
14. Transplanted islet in section of the spleen of one of the dogs shortly after the onset of fasting hyperglycemia at three months posttransplant (immunostained for insulin)
15. Highly purified human islets obtained by Percoll density separation after isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution (immunostained with gold for insulin; not counterstained)
