In May 1945, her father, Moeselman Steinbach, wrote to “Repatriation” in the Netherlands: “...I very politely request you to inform me whether my wife and 10 children have arrived, or only children (Gypsy children) from the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.” Full post at https://settela.com/2026/05/19/genocide-20260519/
