Biographical History

Eline Hoekstra Dresden was born on January 4, 1923 in the Hague, Netherlands to Daniel Dresden and his wife and had three siblings. Her family moved to Utrecht when she was two years old. Her family took in two Jewish refugee children from Germany, but after the German invasion of the Netherlands the two children were forced to leave. Eline’s son, Daniel, was born in 1942 and they went into hiding with her family. In 1943, Eline and her parents were deported to an internment camp in Barneveld, Netherlands. They were later sent to the Westerbork concentration camp until liberation in April 1945.
