For exhibit on Canadian fathers

Museum seeks war veterans married to Rotterdam women

ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands - The local War and Resistance Museum is planning a number of exhibits to tie in with the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands. One of the events has the tentative title 'My father was a Canadian.'

Curators of the museum are looking for eyewitness accounts of the Liberation of Rotterdam in 1945, from among people who have since emigrated to Canada and the United States. For the special 'Canadian' exhibit, assistance is sought from Canadian veterans who married a Rotterdam woman, from the warbrides themselves or from their children.
