The War is Over

When the war ended and the American forces liberated the POW’s in Japan, Karel returned to Indonesia and married Ellie DeJonge, the girl he saw in the photograph. Two kids later Karel and Ellie Jacobs fled Indonesia to the Netherlands. They left Batavia (now Jakarta) during the exodus and purging of Dutch Indonesian citizens.
