Tina Strobos
Our house was not a very safe place because we were involved in to many activities --the medical school, the radio listening, hiding people, making passports. We always had contraband in our house, under the rug- a pretty stupid way of hiding things. My grandmother had a radio sender in her house, so we could send messages from the underground to the BBC. We would listen to the BBC broadcast and then go to her house to send our messages back in code." -Tina Strobos
