On 6 December our chairman Ahmet Taskan visited Westerbork Remembrance Centre and met Ms Gerdien Verschoor, the new director of the centre.
Train that transported Jews to concentration camps during the Second World War
During this meeting, views were exchanged on the possibilities for cooperation. Several possible activities were identified that could be carried out together.
Taskan: “On the one hand, we wanted to wish Ms Gerdien Verschoor every success and job satisfaction in her new challenge; on the other, we wanted to explore together the possibilities for cooperation, so that we can ultimately learn from the mistakes of the past and give extra encouragement to contribute to further rapprochement between groups. We have identified a few points with each other to look at more closely and to take up jointly.”
“The guided tour was very impressive! You understand much better what the Jewish population went through during the Second World War. The visit to the remembrance centre really sinks in.”
Finally, Taskan concluded with the following words: “I think that every self-respecting organisation has a duty to work, within its means, towards a harmonious society.”
We would like to wish Ms Gerdien Verschoor every success and job satisfaction once again.
