On this day, 6 September 1925, anti-fascist resistance activist Freddie Oversteegen was born in Schoten, Netherlands. Together with her older sister Truus, she joined Dutch resistance aged 14. With her communist mother they initially helped shelter refugees and Jews, 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. Unlike Hannie, the Oversteegens fortunately survived the war and lived until their 90s. This is a podcast episode we produced about antifascist youths during World War II: https://soundcloud.com/workingclasshistory/anti-nazi-youth-world-war-ii https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1204120863106395/?type=3
