Sweet angel Rudolf, you would have had 85 candles on your birthday cake today. How I wish I could have helped you blow them out. That would have been 85 candles—one for each year of your life. You weren’t given the opportunity to see five candles on your cake all those years ago.
Rudolf de Beer was born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on 29 August 1938. He was murdered at Sobibor on 2 July 1943 at age four.
A young life was taken.
A future destroyed.
A murdered boy.
His weapon was a toy.
A life ended by hate.
Loved continued beyond life.
Loved by those who look into those mischievous eyes.
