Excerpts from Various Notes Strewn About the Bedroom of Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, October 1, 1941
keep the photographs the city is overexposed again take more walks in the nearby woods the world we knew as children watch out for frogs and detonators mind the wires new aerial boundaries at dawn no one steps inside by choice adapt to the proper order and no sleeping under tables the reflection tower is a good place to start tourist trap, a certain approximate bring the thing under the couch in case of an unexpected visitor more nightmares cut out of the newspaper what is an Astra 600? three different hat sizes Hannie says yes to ménage à trois the joy in discovery the joy in forgetting like God without a compass not a lot, just forever
The Oversteegen sisters and friend Hannie Schaft worked to sabotage the **** military presence in the Netherlands. They used dynamite to disable bridges and railroad tracks. Additionally, they aided Jewish children by smuggling them out of the country or helping them escape concentration camps. The Oversteegens and Schaft also lured German soldiers to the woods under the pretense of a romantic overture and then killed them. Freddie would approach the soldiers in taverns and bars and ask them to "go for a stroll" in the forest.
