As an illegal worker, your brother Andre Jacques, whom you now mourn, was arrested and taken to Poland, where he brought the sacrifice of his life. At this loss I come to express my sincere condolences. Our freedom is partly due to his sacrifice. May his memory remain a support in your future life. WILHELMINA
