How incredible to have this piece of history and then be able to have it transferred so that you could actually listen to it and translate. Really and truly incredible. I can imagine how exciting it finally was to get the information after so long. And to have pictures to go with it is absolutely wonderful. So much was lost during those long years of war. The picture of Pieter with his family is priceless. I imagine this must have been one of the most satisfying moments to put all this together. It really is an incredible part of history and especially of personal importance for the family.
