Book Presentation: First Part of the Rotterdam War Biographies Series

Neerlandica Anne Schram Ouweneel presents "I Want to Tell You a Thing or Two", the first part of the Rotterdam War Biographies series. The book tells the story of Lion Rippe (1923-1943).

In 1942, in the middle of World War II, Lion (Jons) Rippe drew an interactive route map showing all the tram and bus lines of Rotterdam. At that time, he was no longer allowed to ride the tram himself, because he was Jewish.
