A new exhibition opened at the Ghetto Fighters' House Museum: "In their memory: the Jewish and the Gypsy children who were deported from the Netherlands and Murdered, 1945-1942." The curator of the exhibition in Israel is Yaara Galore who says that the exhibition is based on a book by the same name, written by Husse Lauters and Elina Penward, and was opened in Amsterdam in 2012. The book is the result of a project that took Lautes 6 years to collect 18,000 names of Dutch children, Jews and Gypsies who perished in the Holocaust and 3,000 pictures. After the exhibition was shown in Amsterdam, another new 700 names of unknown children and new details about some of the children in the exhibition were collected. Holocaust survivor Fred Altman tells of his two brothers who perished in the Holocaust and their pictures appear in the exhibition
