Biography

According to an eyewitness, who was six years old at the end of 1944, French and Dutch were stationed together with Germans in Topoèianky. The French and Dutch had asked his father where the partisans were, because they wanted to join them. He had shown them where they were in the mountains. In January 1945, however, the French and Dutch had turned up again in Topoèianky. The Germans had shot two of them immediately. Oran and Blom were wounded. They were found the next day and hanged.
