Farewell Letter
1942
Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei
Amsterdam, Netherlands
A planned sea crossing on 21 March 1942 of the Jewish Engelandvaarder (Lit. England-farer) Carl Martin Zellermayer and eight others failed because they were betrayed. In the ferry boss’ house in the Dutch harbour village of Simonshaven they awaited nightfall. Once it was dark, they could embark on their journey to England. But before that happened, the Germans surrounded the house and arrested the would-be Engelandvaarders.
