In 1939 I joined the rowing club Poseidon in Amsterdam and was part of a junior 4 with coxwain. Early in 194l Poseidon, like all other Jewish sportsclubs in Amterdam, was raided by the Nazi occupiers, who arrested every one they could find. All prisoners were transported in due course to Mauthausen, where as rumored the experiments of poison gases on healthy human specimens resulted in the demise of one and all. A name sake and half cousin of mine Koert (aka. Kurt) Herzstein was caught and died in Mauthausen 6.9.1941. Through sheer luck I avoided the raid and thanks to the efforts of Mevrouw Wijsmuller was able to escape the Netherlands and reached Spain in order to board a ship to Havana, Cuba.
