When Germany occupied the Netherlands, a young Elise Kann went into hiding with Molly and Gerry Van Heel. Though she once walked in on Gerry while he was forging identification cards, it wasn’t until decades later that Elise learned the full story behind his and Molly’s efforts to rescue Jews. Curator Susan Snyder explains the significance of the Van Heels’ forging materials, which Elise donated to the Museum.
