On this day, 6 September 1925, anti-fascist resistance fighter Freddie Oversteegen (pictured, left) was born in Schoten, Netherlands. Together with her older sister Truus (right), she joined Dutch resistance at the age of 14.
With her communist mother they initially helped shelter refugees and Jewish people, and later under German occupation joined a resistance cell in Haarlem alongside Hannie Schaft, sabotaging bridges and railway lines and assassinating Nazis and Dutch collaborators.
