Note(s)
Film stock dates to 1927; cardboard box stamped with processing date of June 1940. During the war, these home movies were stored along with other family possessions with David's sister Sara and her husband, Klaas Klaren. Klaas's sister Dora had arranged the first three hiding places for Ellis during the war in the Netherlands. Their father, Ulke Klaren (Socialist and Christian), built the first children's playground for the poor in Holland.
For more information about Ellis's story, see "De Dagboeken Van Bernie En Ellis" (2011, in Dutch) and "The Lost Love Diaries", a 2011 Israeli documentary.
