Geertruida succeeded in escaping to Spain from where she fled to Cuba and later to New York in the United States.

The Geertruida Beffie story:

 

Geertruida Zeehandelaar (born Beffie) grew up in a middle class family in Amsterdam, Holland. She had one older brother. During the 1930s the family had endured difficult financial circumstances, which meant attending a college for Geertruida was unaffordable and instead completed a two-year Schoevers Education that was a privately owned educational institution in the Netherlands, which mostly trained students for secretarial and administrative positions.

 

As a young girl Geertruida Beffie enjoyed to read, loved music and dance but hated sports. She described herself as a tough, independent child who received regular punishments for insubordination.. In 1941 Geertruida had knowledge of what was to be the fate of the Jews under the German Nazi regime and with help from the Dutch underground she escaped Holland through France, via Spain, Cuba, her final destination fleeing into the United States. Throughout the remainder of the war she worked at sea for a Dutch Shipping Company.
 

In 1947 Geertruida Beffie married the Dutchman Frits Zeehandelaar, also Jewish, who escaped the Netherlands during the German Nazi occupation and also settled in America after the war. Together they had been married 51 years.

 

It was only a few years prior to her death in April 2013 that Geertruida discovered her brother, Eduard Beffie had been murdered in Sobibor and both her parents perished in Bergen-Belsen, finding the thought distressing of her dead mother who died of typhus, lying on a shelf just before the liberation of the camp.

 

Geertruida Beffie said; "I am a co-plantiff, because I owe it to my brother"

Westerbork was a World War II Nazi refugee, detention and transit camp in Hooghalen, ten kilometres north of Westerbork, in the northeastern Netherlands. Its function during the Second World War was to assemble Roma and Dutch Jews for transport to other Nazi concentration camps.

 

On 15 December 1938, the Dutch government closed its border to refugees. From then on refugees would not have any statutory rights. In 1939, the Dutch government erected a refugee camp, Centraal Vluchtelingenkamp Westerbork, financed, ironically, partly by Dutch Jewry, in order to absorb fleeing Jews from Nazi Germany. The Jewish refugees were housed after they had tried in vain to escape Nazi terror in their homeland. During World War II, the Nazis took over the camp and turned it into a deportation camp. From this camp, 101,000 Dutch Jews and about 5,000 German Jews were deported to their deaths in Occupied Poland. In addition, there were about 400 Gypsies in the camp and at the very end of the War, some 400 women from the resistance movement.
