In 1994 members of the museum community contaced the survivor Fritz Bender, husband of Hanna Juhl-Bender, in Canada. He visited Bielefeld in 1999 and 2000 and told us the history of the family Juhl and how he could escape from Den Haag in a fisher boat via Ijmuiden. A film featuring him and his memories can be watched at the museum in Bielefeld.
Dr. Frederick (Fritz) Bender died in Ottawa 25 November 2005 at the age of 99. He had married again and was father of 2 children.
