Dear family, my sympathy and condolences for your loss. May Elisabeth rest in peace. Only yesterday I became aware about the sad news when searching for her name. I am Anuschka Polder, daughter of Cornelia Elisabeth Polder-Bredius (1920-2015). Her father was Jan Gijsbert Bredius, brother of Cornelia Elisabeth Bredius, the mother of Elisabeth. My mother and Elisabeth were thus cousins. My mother was always talking about Elisabeth, even though they lost contact, and one of here greatest wishes was to see her again. I remember Elisabeth wrote a letter, including pictures, from the USA, but this got lost and we did not succeed finding the address again. I was so impressed and touched reading about the life of Elisabeth and her valuable work. Very special was also that Elisabeth liked books and classical music, just as my mother and me. I would appreciate so much to get in contact with one of your family and if possible tell more about the past and present. Again, my warmest thoughts for your loss. Kind regards,
