Writ of summons - Van Diepen Van der Kroef

While my son and I walked along the corridor towards the buses and trucks, my sonwas insulted by a Dutch soldier, while that soldier pointed at my son with his finger.My son knew the Dutch word that the soldier shouted at him and he translated thatword for me. When we reached a certain point a Serbian soldier said that my son hadto go to the right and I had to carry straight on, towards trucks and buses that wereintended for the deportation. The Dutch soldiers stood by. I fell to my knees and beggedthe soldier not to kill my son. The Dutch soldiers did nothing. A Serbian soldierprepared his weapon to shoot me dead but another Serbian soldier objected. My sonwas taken away and I never saw him again. His remains have also never beenidentified.’258.

The son of my daughterin-lawwas not allowed onto the bus. His headless body was later found.The Dutch and Serbian soldiers formed a narrow corridor along which we had to walk.They held hands and in that way made a human chain.
