we may trace the beginning of the Ies and Lien Cassuto family: a rare photograph, I don'know how it came in my possesion! It is a picture of the participants in the seventh (or eighth?) Zionist congress in The Hague, 1907. The decision to hold the Congress in the Hague was based on the knowledge that the Second International Peace Conference was to be held in that city. At the Congress the major debate concerned the conflicting approaches of the practical and political Zionists. The political Zionists demanded that a charter be secured before practical work began in Palestine, while the practical Zionists argued that without substantial settlement there was little hope of gaining legal sanction from one or more of the Great Powers. In the event, the movement supported a number of practical efforts and established a Palestine branch of the WZO to be headed by Arthur Ruppin. However, the adoption of synthetic Zionism —a synthesis of the two positions—became the clarion call of not a few delegates, their major spokesperson being Chaim Weizmann . (bron: Jewishvirtuallibrary.org) Two of the participants met each other there - is my hypothesis - and married soon afterwards, in 1909: Isaac Cassuto and Caroline Winkel. Search fot them - a difficult task - and if you can't find them, you can't miss them here |

a unique gathering at (I suppose) in father Albert van Zuidens home at the Valkenboskade 400 in The Hague. I guess the year is 1938, maybe beginning of 1939. Apparently it was a social happening including: back row from left to right: Herman van Zuiden (son of Alberts brother Bernard), Max Cassuto, Albert van Zuiden, Hetty Winkel fiancee to Ernest Cassuto, who is sitting next to her and then Wies Houthuyzen Kerrebijn; sitting from left to right Puck (Remi) van Zuiden, Mary ('Zus') Houthuyzen Kerrebijn. Wies and Zus were best friends to Puck. The man in the middle is indicated as 'Dad Lioni'. Big question: had Max already cast an eye on Puck? Or was this guy Dad Lioni then courting Puck? Here apparently the choice is made, it 's time of the engagement, 1939 |
"jodenster", "Jewish star"; had to be sewed on cloths by the Jews in German-occuped countries during '40-45. This star I found in the "suitcase of George" and apparently was destined for him |
