- Frieda Belinfante was born in Amsterdam in 1904. Her father was Jewish but her mother was not. Trained as a musician, Frieda was one of the first female conductors. During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Frieda joined a Dutch resistance group. She forged identity documents for people hiding from the Nazis and their collaborators and helped to plan an attack on Amsterdam's population registry. Klaus Mueller, the Museum's European Representative, interviewed Frieda when she was 90 years old, just 9 months before she passed away.
We thank Image Bank WW2/NIOD (www.beeldbankwo...) for kindly giving us permission to use the photo of the destroyed population registry that appears in this video.
Frieda's oral history can be viewed in its entirety on our web site: collections.ush....

I took piano lessons from Frieda in Laguna Beach in the early 80"s when I was a child. I was too young to appreciate her story. This brings back alot of memories for me.
Thank you so much for bringing this video to the public!!! ❤
Thank you for recording this story!
What a courageous woman she was !
Thank you for posting this bit of an obviously much longer and fascinating story of what I imagine, is, an extraordinary woman of her time. Indeed, of any time. I don't know, though, have things come as far as we would like to think they have come? I believe so, sometimes but at other times, I feel as if so little has changed since the last century. I am cynical though. Yes, things have changed but so many have had to suffer, if not die, for that change to come about. Peace!
Thank you so, so much for documenting this. Aside from being a fantastic musician, she was an amazing woman. She and Henriëtte Bosmans were such a power couple.
Amazing!!!!!!
