The story recounted in the Organ Attics: three Jewish couples go into hiding for almost three years in the attics high on both sides of the organ of the protestant church in Breeplein, Rotterdam. The sexton, the Reverend and their families look after them. The youngest couple has a child. A Surinamese ophthalmologist acquired knowledge of gynaecology and, together with the Reverend’s wife and a lady from the resistance, helped bring the baby into the world.
Everyone survived the Second World War.
Who could dream up such an improbable story? Nobody. However, this is<\/em> a true story.
Anja Matser (1961) is a theologist and knows the Breeplein Church well. The grim story of the refugees had her in its grip and she could not rest until she had researched it thoroughly and published a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
