Age 80

Civil status Married (to John Frederick Konig)

Children Two daughters, one son: Elizabeth Helene Konig Kahn (married to Henry Kahn), Judith Marion Arato (married to Peter Arato), Martin Joseph Konig (married to Evelin Rosenberg).

Training Economist, Translation of Portuguese and English

What job did you want? Lawyer

What have you been doing? I give lectures aiming to end the myth concerning the destiny of the Jewish people in the Netherlands. Many people think the Netherlands was a paradise and that the Jewish people had support from the Dutch government. My readings go over the occupation period, the Jewish lyceum, my deportation to Westerbork, my three-year stay in a sanatorium in Belsen, living daily with tuberculosis there, and the lasting impact of the camps.
The realization that I was the only survivor in my immediate family was an enormous shock. Coming out of the concentration camp, I had not finished high school and had no profession. I completed a secretarial course in the United Kingdom and got a job at a merchant bank in London.
