As a small Child, Natascha heard stories about the war from her grandmother that would have a profound effect on her life. Natascha believes: "every soldier that dies is one too many." Recalling the stories about the brave soldiers that liberated Holland she exclaims: "they shall never be forgotten and when I have children I will pass that on to them." She and her father Hubert are members of the Dutch Adopt-a-grave families.
