Eva Weyl (* 1935) is the daughter of a Jewish couple who emigrated from Germany to the Netherlands due to anti-semitism. Eva enjoyed a (short) wonderful childhood in the Netherlands but when the mass deportations of Jewish citizens began there in 1942, the family was sent to the Westerbork transit camp, from which Dutch Jews or German Jews staying in the Netherlands were deported to concentration and extermination camps in the East. Over a period of three years, the Weyl family was repeatedly on the transport list to their deaths until the camp was liberated by Canadian soldiers in April 1945. As an eye witness, Eva Weyl, who lives in Amsterdam, continues to report and reflect on the experience of fear and hope that was her early childhood experience in a concentration camp.
