Commentary

The Bogaardts are a far flung family. Isn’t the internet wonderful. We are finding more and more Bogaardts. A thank you to all who are following our Jack of All Writer’s blog. We will search for additional photos.

From Gerard:

One of the Bogaardt's, Dolly Gerarda Bogaardt, was my father's first wife. He married first in Soerabaja on 6th February 1929 (divorced Batavia Indonesia on 17th September 1929) to Dolly Gerarda Bogaardt,born Modjokerto (near Surabaya) 3 apr. 1904 , dr.of Ernest Theodoor Bogaardt and the native woman Kassirah . He later married in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, on 7th November 1929 Gertruda Catharina Geutjes. They returned shortly thereafter to Surabaya in the Dutch East Indies now Indonesia, where three children were born; Karin, Jan and me, Gerard. When I was born in 1940 the family moved to Malang from where we were in 1942 interned by the Japanese, but we as a unit all dsurvived, although other family members lost their lives. Silenced Voices by Inez Hollander portriats our war experiences.
