Belgian and Holland Studemts
Relate Their War Experiences
By Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor

Studying the stars in under
ground classes" may not be an ap
proved method of learning astron
omy but it sufficed for young Bel
gian girl, who, during the war, con
ttnued her work in the scienc,
while conducting classes for thos,
whose education had been inter
rupted by the Nazi invasion of Bel
GUM. t.-
Miss Simone Daro of Brussel
brought to Washington last weel
a dramatic story of her experience
in Belgium following closing of th'
university by the Nazis.
Here with Miss Elsa Van Dier
of Amsterdam, Holland, the two
young women were guests of thu
American Association of Universit.
Women from which organization
they both hold International Study
Grants at Radcliffe College.
Working at the Harvard Univer.
sity Observatory, which extends it!
privileges to woman students OF
Radcliffe, is vastly different from
working behind closed doors in con.
slant dread of the Nazi Gestapo
Miss Daro declared.
Her college mate, Miss van Dien
smilingly agreed, for she, too, hae
known the fears of persecution by
the Nazis. Her dread, however
was even more than the Belgian
girls as, being Of Jewish parentage
she was obliged to move from one
place to another throughout the
five years of war without the solace
of continuing her studies in the
subject of her choice, astronomy.
$50 many men teachers were
taken by the war" Miss Daro ex-
planned. The Nazis wanted to pui
their own people in the univer-
sity and when we would not accept
them, they closed the university
So I carried on classes secretly, do.
ing the best I could with the few
small instruments at hand. Or
course, my work was mostly with
the mathematical side of astron'
omy."
Pursued by Gestapo.
Miss van Diens experiences were
even more severe than Miss Daro's
While attending the wedding of 6
relative at The Hague the Ger.
mans invaded Holland and it was
impossible for her to return at the
time to her home in Amsterdam
When finally she rejoined hel
parents the family did not remair
long in one place, as they knew
they were wanted by the GeStape
and their only security was in con-
stantly changing their abode.
I'VE finally secured shelter ir
Leyden," the pretty Dutch girl said
"a family there took us in in spite
of the danger. They were wonder
full to us and I can never forge
them"
Miss van Diem gladly did tht
houseWork for her benefactors, al
older women, who shared food ant
clothing with her and her parents
One of the many sacrifices of wa
is illustrated in this story of tn
brilliant young scientist who TO
five years had research and study
subordinated to a daily fight 70
existence. The wonder about botl
these young scientists is how the
surveyed the horrors and sacrifice
of teir experiences and have re
tanned their youth and health t
such an extraordinary extent.
Miss van Diem, 80 years of agt
might easily pass for several year
younger, while her college-mats
Miss Daro. 25 years old, also ap
pears untouched by trouble.
But I feel much older than tn
girls of my age at Radcliffe" tn
