How 19-year-old Gerda died in the attic of her hiding place

Remembrance Day the secret of the Alberti family

Veenendaal – Jenny Scholte-Alberti (81) commemorates Gerda Pinto every year on May 4: a young Jewish woman. When Jenny finds a picture of her at the age of 10, her parents tell a story they would rather not tell. It is a war story about hiding, fear and death. It takes place eighty years ago, in 1943.
