Toys, Tales, Tenacity: Bep-Rie Gomperts

Shrine of Remembrance

Bep-Rie Gomperts was two years old when the war started in the Netherlands. It soon became clear that she and her family needed to go into hiding for their safety.

Bep spent the next several years moving from family to family and was seperated from her mother just shy of her sixth birthday.

Listen as Bep recalls her childhood with several different families and what life was like amid the uncertainty.
