In September this year, RTV Oost reporter Sander Jongsma, journalist Jan Braakman and Margriet Dekkers from the University of Twente traveled to Canada to interview the relatives of soldiers who died during the Second World War. The soldiers are all in the Canadian cemetery in Holten. What consequences did the war have on the lives of the relatives? And what traces do they still carry with them today.
One of the gripping stories is about Wolf Solkin and Bill O'Donnell. These best comrades promised each other that if one of them died, the other would visit their loved ones to say how much he loved them. You can see how it ended in this documentary.
