Louise Lawrence-Israëls

Tragically most of her extended family was deported to Auschwitz and Sobibor in Poland, where they were killed. After the liberation, she was enrolled in a Montessori school. In 1946, the family left for Stockholm, Sweden, but returned to Holland in 1948, where she resumed her studies at a Montessori school. Over time, three more siblings were born.

She became a physiotherapist and worked in Amsterdam.
