Mietje Locher was the first of the family to be summoned 'for work in Germany'. Despite her mother's wishes she reported voluntarily. She would have said: "If I do not go, they will take you". From the window of a riding train she threw a postcard that arrived. The rest of the family went into hiding and survived the war.
