"From where shall my help come?" : the story of two sisters : Fanny Rozelaar and Betty Meir

"This film depicts the story of central-European Jewry during the Holocaust era, as experienced by two sisters: Franny Rozelaar and Betty Meir ( née Ichenh ä user), born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Following the Nazi rise to power in 1933, and with the growing anti-Jewish measures in Nazi Germany, Fanny, born in 1919, was ejected from her school. The family left Germany, settling in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Fanny married Marc Rozelaar days after the German conquest of the Netherlands. In 1942, Fanny gave birth to their child, Uri, who was given away for hiding, while she and her husband went into hiding north of Amsterdam. The parents did not see their child until the end of the war. Fanny later gave birth to two more children, and in 1952 the family immigrated to Israel, where she worked for many years as a tour guide. Born in 1923, Betty, who had studied nursing in Amsterdam, stayed behind to care for her mother, who could not adjust to life in hiding. The two were sent to Westerbork and later to Bergen-Belsen, where Betty worked as a nurse and thus managed to save her mother. Towards the end of the war, the two were released to Switzerland, as part of a prisoner exchange. At war's end, the two reached Marseilles, and from there, Algeria. Betty immigrated to Israel in 1945, completed her training and becoming a certified nurse, married, and gave birth to a daughter." —Container
