There is little that I know for sure about my Opa's death. Actually, I have no specifics beyond the January 1945 date. I know that he spent time in camp Tangerang, an internment camp set up near what today is known as Djakarta. He and his friend Nikolaas (my Oom Niek) de Joncheere — also elderly — were both interned there at one point. I know that because Niek survived the experience and wrote a letter about it... a letter that has since been passed to me. But Niek also writes that Anton disappeared from Tangerang, and that they never saw each other again.If death didn't come to Anton in Tangerang, it probably caught up with him in a nearby camp. After the liberation, Anton's wife — my Amma — received a note from a good friend whose wife had visited with Anton in Tangerang. The note ended with a piece of news the friend had received through the survivors' grapevine... the news that Anton had died.
