From Amersfoort to Rees: How Wim Escaped as Jan Faced Halbe

A dusty suitcase. A vanished uncle. And a letter that stops a life on paper. Historian Grace Karskins opens her father Wim’s wartime archive and steps into Nazi-occupied Netherlands. What begins with a transport list at Camp Amersfoort and a miraculous removal for pleurisy leads to a frozen hell at Rees — and the tiny tissue slip that became his passport to freedom. But why did Wim’s brother Jan, a teenage recruit to the Waffen SS, end up wounded in Graz, write home from Berlin, and disappear as the Halbe Pocket closed in? Meanwhile in Melbourne, 79-year-old Ming Ballantong follows two wartime letters and a DNA test to the moment he finally sees his Filipino father’s face — and learns he has far more family than he ever imagined.

Watch to uncover the choices that split brothers, the ruse that saved a life, and the truth that rewrites a son’s
