In July 1942 the Leeuwarden police arrested Aron de Bruin in his house because he had bought ‘meat without a coupon’ at the Jewish butcher. After two days he was released because he ‘had confessed his crime’. The police however arrested him again at the same day. A few days later a policeman came to the De Bruin family with a letter of Aron. It was a farewell letter from Amersfoort in which he asked to send him photos of his children.
