On the 4th of december 2018 Sobibór surivor Selma Wijnberg passes away at the age of 96 in the USA. After WWII she and her fellow Sobibór survivor Chaim Engel (polish) returned to the Netherlands. But the Dutch government refused Chaim Engel (her later husband) to stay in the Netherlands (yes yes really, what a bloody shame) so they left to the USA. Selma Wijnberg was one of the two Dutch survivors of Sobibór who really stayed in that place for half a year. Two out of 34313 persons from the Netherlands who were sent to that hell on earth.
