"Mein Herz ist so übervoll, um Dir zu danken, und die Liebe zu Euch allen werde ich dalassen. [...]
Schade, daß ich nichts auf der Welt lasse als nur die Erinnerung an mich."

"My heart is so overflowing to thank you, and the love for all of you I will leave. [...]
It is a pity that I leave nothing in the world but the memory of me."

last letter to her mother
of Cato Bontjes van Beek, one day before she was murdered by the Nazis at the age of 23
