Marion Joyce de Klijn (* 1944) is the daughter of the Jewish couple Nap de Klijn and Alice Heksch. They were successful musicians who performed as the “Duo Amsterdam” in the Netherlands. Nap and Alice were arrested in 1942 and imprisoned in Scheveningen prison. When they are unexpectedly released after three months, they immediately go into hiding and hide at a total of seventeen different addresses – sometimes together, sometimes separately. They put their son Mark up with friends. During the hunger winter of 1943/44, the heavily pregnant Alice stayed in hiding in Amsterdam, where Marion was born in February. The parents managed to conceal the birth of their daughter. After the liberation in May 1945, the family is reunited and returns to their house in Laren, which had been devastated by the Nazis. It is impossible to rebuild a harmonious family life, the war has caused too much damage. Almost all members of the de Klijn and Heksch families were murdered in the extermination camps; only a niece and a nephew survived the war.
