Biographical History
Sal de Zwarte (donor, cameraman, and brother of Collette de Zwarte) was Jewish and deported to Westerbork. After he was released to be sterilized, he survived by hiding in the basement of the hotel he worked in as a waiter before the war. His wife, Frida Coster de Zwarte, remained in Amsterdam with the children, trying to prove her Aryan status. Their daughter Miep Koenig was in the 1940 wedding as a bridesmaid; she survived and lives in Toronto. Collette, Sal, and Simon also survived the war.
