After the monster film congress in Berlin, a swinging Saturday night 23 March 1935 in the Amsterdam Carlton Hotel at The First Dutch Film Ball (Het Eerste Nederlandsche Filmbal) organized by the dutch film world (with Loet Barnstein, …Ehrlich…Hamburger…Willy Mullens…Max Tak…Abraham Tuschinski…Kor Postma) both to celebrate the film world and especially to collect money for their foundation ‘Bio Vakantieoord’ ( Cine Holiday Resort ) — founded in 1927 by the cinema owner Abraham Tuschinski and the Dutch Cinema Association (Nederlandse Bioscoopbond; NBB; association of cinemas , distributors and producers) to facilitate holidays in their seaside ‘castle’ on the dutch coast, each month for 90 poor lower class children living in the big cities like Amsterdam. At that time, also , twice a year (the Christmas and Easter weeks), money was collected for that Bio Holiday Resort foundation in the dutch cinemas, but because of the Great Depression donations are shifting from ‘silver’ to nickel …copper . The fundraising went hand in hand with promotional films made by the Dutch Profilti and Polygoon cinema newsreel companies . Next week people would watch this Polygoon news in the cinemas. The newspapers wrote, those present will be filmed, and if allowed by the police , the film will be shown the same night, and many movie and theater stars, filmschlagers, to be present … Harry Baur, Henriette Davids, Jopie Koopmans, Kid Johnson, Reri, Johan Kaart, Frits van Dongen, Henk Alsem.

Barnstijn, Norma Shearer, Dr. M. de Hartog, Lupe Velez, Louis Davids, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Sylvain Poons, Myrna Loy, Mariene Dietrich, Wethouder Boissevain, Kor Postma, Theo Ketelaar.

Starfighter Photography Prohibited ! Bio 1965 | 20230729 | Michel van der Burg | Miracles•Media | Photography not allowed here in 1965 where I – at the age of 13 – took this low-flying fighter jet picture hiding in the heath on a trip around our summer camp – first year highschool Aloysius College – at the Tranchée in forest and heathland between Weert and Budel in the south of the Netherlands near the border with Belgium. The camera – a Voigtländer Vito camera (no light meter / no rangefinder / fixed lens / viewfinder) – was a 13 birthday gift earlier that year – that I used here for my short first ‘reportage’. | TakeNode 9245cb78-da77-4069-879e-74a01b52fdb5

A virtual performance, during the April 2020 Corona virus lockdown, of the epilogue of the community opera PUSH , entitled : Ma Vie N’est Que Miracles | My life is only miracles – hosted by composer Howard Moody. It premiered on the night of the 19th April 2020, exactly 77 years after three Brussels resistance heroes stopped the Nazi train Transport XX, transporting 1600 Jewish deportees to Auschwitz, and more than 200 prisoners escaped from the train before the German border.

Kazerne Dossin | Westerborkfilm Images #1 | 20230727

Images from the Westerborkfilm have been used countless times in documentaries and films about the Second World War.
Here Westerborkfilm images – clips – screening semi-permanent ten years ago (Feb. 2013) in a museum introduction film (on holocaust, genocides, discrimination, diversity, rights) on one of the huge columns in the entrance hall of the Kazerne Dossin museum in Mechelen, Belgium (a few months after opening of the new Kazerne Dossin building). Note, shortly after this outbound deportation transport to Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz, had left the Westerbork transit camp on May 19, 1944, the train paused at the nearby railway station of the dutch town Assen, where train cars were added from Belgian Transport XXV (25) with 508 deportees, Jews and the Roma deportee Stevo Caroli, from transit camp Kazerne Dossin (Dossin barracks) in Mechelen, and this combined transport with Jews, Sinti and Roma, including Settela Steinbach, continues to the east…to the Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz concentration camps. Stevo Caroli survives Auschwitz-Birkenau. After returning to Belgium, Stevo Caroli’s request for a certificate, necessary for the compensation for political deportees or work refusers, is refused by the Belgian Aliens Police for racial reasons ( kazernedossin.memorial/biografie/stevo-karoli/ ).

Sally’s Invasion Star

June 25, 2023 — Contact between the families of Sally and Nelly is re-established !

Sally Frankenthal – Kalwary was living in Antwerp in the 90s when she requested Yad Vashem a Righteous medal posthumous for “Nelly Quintard” .. the lady that had been hiding Sally Frankenthal and her parents during World War II. However, Mrs. Sally Kalwary – Frankenthal was not able to find Nelly’s family …. and the medal went to the Kazerne Dossin museum in Mechelen.

This month contact was re-established with Sally’s family. Unfortunately, too late to meet Sally Frankenthal – Kalwary, who died three years ago.
Sally’s family shared photo’s taken of Sally before and after her hiding — both with stars…posted in today’s update of the Story of Righteous Nelly • Quintart aka Quintard .
