"Maar haar [A.B. van Meerten Schilperoort's] grootste roem geldt het tijdschrift voor dames Pénélopé (...). Het verscheen in 8 delen van 1821 tot 1835 bij haar vaste uitgever Beijerinck en is met zijn 192 handgekleurde platen op afstand het fraaiste en kostbaarste Nederlandse periodiek uit de negentiende eeuw. De prijs, honderdtwintig gulden, was er ook naar! Anna Barbera heeft trouwens steeds de hoogste eisen gesteld aan de uitvoering van haar geschriften. Het schone en het goede lagen voor haar dicht bij elkaar". (Lust en Leering).

= "In 1883 publiceerde D. Henriques de Castro Mz. het grote plaatwerk Keur van grafsteenen (...). Hij behandelde in dit majestueuze boek de mooiste zerken en gaf verklaringen van namen en feiten. (...) De Castro plande nog twee delen van zijn standaardwerk, maar die zijn jammer genoeg nooit verschenen. De Castro ontdekte te Ouderkerk veel meer stenen dan er zichtbaar waren. Veel zerken waren reeds in de vorige eeuw diep weggezakt in de drassige grond. De grafkenner telde zesduizend stenen en kwam tot enkele zeer interessante gevolgtrekkingen van begraafhistorisch belang. Hij publiceerde in zijn boek tevens de volledige begraaflijst van 1616 tot 1630. (...) De namenlijst van De Castro bevat vele beroemdheden en mannen van aanzien. Ook vreemde namen; op 1 januari 1617 werd begraven 'Een kind van Okes Boques'. De Castro voegt aan deze naam een voetnoot toe: 'Onwillekeurig denken wij hierbij aan het bekende hocus-pocus. Wellicht rust hier het kind van een goochelaar.'" (B. Büch, Grafreizen p.48).
All published. Freimann p.195; Encycl.

C. war Vorstandsmitglied der Gemeinde und Präsident des Komitees der portugiesischen Juden in Holland. Er starb am 10. Oktober 1898 in Amsterdam und hinterließ eine bedeutende Büchersammlung, die viele, insbesondere für die Geschichtskunde der Juden in Holland, Spanien und Portugal wichtige Werke, Manuskripte und Urkunden enthielt."

Ze wou me niet en dat waren de signalen die ik ontving" (p.9)), life with her mother and (terminally) ill father ("Nu ze [moeder] haar kinderen weer op haar dak geschoven had gekregen (...), kon ze ook geen baan meer aannemen en moest ze steun aanvragen. Dat was natuurlijk heel vernederend, dat mocht niemand weten en we mochten ook met niemand omgaan"(p.23-24)), rape by her stepfather, the war ("10 mei 1940 brak de oorlog uit. (...). Bang waren we eigelijk niet. Die oorlog zouden we wel winnen. Dat optimisme kwam uit domheid, uit onwetendheid voort. We wisten wel dat joden in Duitsland als het symbool van alles wat slecht was werden beschouwd en dat de bevolking grotendeels antisemitisch was (...). Dat bij ons joden zouden worden vervolgd leek ondenkbaar"(p.142)), a period of going underground, giving her baby up for adoption and the loss of her brother Flip, who was murdered in Auschwitz.
