In 1935 the nomadic Sinti families Steinbach — musicians — were photographed by Dutch photographer Jan de Jong at their caravan pitch on the heath around the Heksenberg hill in Brunssum, Limburg, Netherlands (1).
The boy with the violin is Willy Steinbach, an older brother of Settela Steinbach. The other 3 prints from the glass negatives that Jan de Jong made at the Heksenberg site in 1935 also show the Steinbach family, among others, with toddler Settela in the arms of her older sister Elisabeth Steinbach.
Settela Steinbach became known as the girl with the headscarf, featured a few seconds in the Westerbork film by Werner Rudolf Breslauer showing the deportation of the Steinbachs’ and other nomad families — all together ca 245 Sinti and Roma, and ca 450 Jews — on May 19th 1944 from the dutch transit camp Westerbork to Auschwitz (1,2).

I joined YouTube with Channel012 on June 20, 2007 , soon after YouTube was purchased by Google late 2006 . My first public video was uploaded Dec 30, 2007 : ‘Fire Breather’.
The 2nd video was a high quality video : “Tiroler Fasnacht 2008 in Igls”. Traditional carnival in the streets in Austria. This was uploaded May 7, 2008.
Some days later I was contacted by Maybelline — a friend from the early 1970s when we both studied biology at Leiden University in Holland, with whom I had not had any contact since — who was wondering whether it was me ‘the Michel of the biology study, after I had left a comment signed ‘Michel’ at her YouTube channel (@maybellinebroek) with music videos.
I learned she had just started the duo Agua Azul together with pianist Thijmen Vonk, with already about 16 performances lined up, one just completed , and an upcoming talent show in theater Agnietenhof in Tiel, Holland, next Friday 16 May, 2008.
Just in time, the afternoon before that talent show, we agreed I’d film the show, and a few hours before the performance, I received the stage setup. Unfortunately, I was late for the opening number… and then filming… and same night editing. Next day rushes were checked, and the evening of May 19 the uploads of 4 of the songs at Maybelline’s channel succeeded — just in time for a screening the next morning for an important venue, to determine if they want to book Agua Azul in Cultuurhuis Doorn…which they did.
Maybelline’s YouTube channel ranked #13 Most Viewed Today Musicians in the Netherlands within the first two days after uploading our Agua Azul videos.
Channel ranking was #58 in Most Viewed (This Week) Musicians in the Netherlands – a week after uploading (20080526).
More recently, I uploaded remastered editions of those videos , and added a new video too, a video of the interview with Agua Azul on that “Open Podium” in the Agnietenhof Theatre in Tiel , Holland on Friday 16 May, 2008.
