Comments: By all accounts, Wim was quite an astonishing man. He was captured during WWII and spent years in German concentration camps. After the war, he spent some time working in an industrial enamelling firm in Italy where he became aware of a skin problem. On return to the Netherlands, he was diagnosed with terminal Hodgins disease, a tragic fate so soon after having survived the war and concentration camps. Despite knowing their time together would be short, Wim and Barbara decided to marry and they did so in his bedroom on 21 September 1951. Wim died 8 weeks later.
