- 1 page. Two-sided certificate printed and filled-in with a typewriter. On the recto, on t.c., the outlines of a blue Star of David on the center front page. The document gives information on Ilse van Collem's residence in Amsterdam. Narrative: The donor, Ilse Zilversmit, née van Collem, was born on 1926-09-26 in Amsterdam. Her father was a co-owner of a cosmetic business and a factory manager and her mother was a housewife. Ilse's family lived in a large house outside the Jewish quarter, where they received German Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism, after Hitler’s election in 1933. Ilse attended the same Jewish school as Anne Frank and became friends with Anne’s older sister, Margot. As anti-Jewish measures were gradually imposed in Amsterdam after the German invasion in 1940-05, Ilse was forced to pursue her education at home. On 1943-06-20, during one of the last great raids of Amsterdam, she was deported to the Westerbork transit camp. Ilse was detained for eight months at Westerbork transit camp where she worked on the farm and in the laundry. The van Collem family was then transferred to the concentration camp to Bergen-Belsen, where Ilse’s job was to dismantle German soldiers’ shoes and uniforms. A SS guard who felt sympathy for her had her transferred to kitchen duty where she had greater access to food for herself and her family. In 1945-03, her father was beaten by German guards because he was unable to remain motionless when ordered to stand at attention. He died of his wounds a few days later. On 1945-04-09, Ilse, her sister and her mother were again deported to an unknown destination. On 1945-04-23, the train was finally stopped, and its passengers were liberated by the Russian Army, near Leipzig, Germany. They were repatriated to the Netherlands by the Dutch Red Cross. Ilse met her future husband, Gunter Zilversmit, in The Hague in 1945. The two became engaged in 1947 and married in 1949. Their first child was born in 1950. Ilse’s husband was anxious to leave Europe. Because Ilse already had some friends in Canada, the family decided to immigrate to Canada on October 3, 1951 with the help of the Jewish Immigrant Aid Services (JIAS).
