Op de vlucht voor antisemitisme en geweld, kwam hij in 1929 naar Antwerpen, waar hij zich vestigde als kleermaker. Zijn achtergebleven familie belandde in het getto van Radomsko.

David Van Turnhout volgt samen met Dirk Verhofstadt het spoor van zijn Joodse grootvader, Ide Leib Kartuz. Op de vlucht voor antisemitisme en geweld, kwam hij in 1929 naar Antwerpen, waar hij zich vestigde als kleermaker. Zijn achtergebleven familie belandde in het getto van Radomsko. Elk familielid werd vergast in Treblinka, er bleef niemand meer over. In België ging Kartuz bij het verzet, maar in 1942 pakten de nazi’s hem op en deporteerden hem via Breendonk en de Dossinkazerne naar Auschwitz. Zijn vrouw en twee kinderen vonden meteen bij hun aankomst een gruwelijke dood.

Zelf overleefde hij in een commando van kleermakers en onderging hij een onmenselijke dodenmars naar Mauthausen. Na de oorlog maakte hij in Antwerpen maatpakken voor bankiers, diamantairs en andere toplui. Hij hertrouwde en kreeg opnieuw twee kinderen. Zijn laatste strijd voerde hij tegen de Belgische staat voor erkenning als Belg, weerstander en oorlogsslachtoffer. Slechts weinigen weten hoe bijzonder moeilijk het na de bevrijding voor de Joden in België nog was.

De auteurs graven tot diep in de kern van de Holocaust en onderzoeken van Radomsko tot Miami elk spoor. In de archieven van Auschwitz ontdekten ze onuitgegeven getuigenissen van kleermakers in Blok 1. Totaal onverwacht vonden ze in Florida ook een nichtje van Ide. Zij overleefde door als kind onder te duiken op een zolder in Brussel. Hun zoektocht slingert een jaar lang tussen belangrijke ontdekkingen en tegenslagen, maar in dit eerbetoon krijgt een onbekende geschiedenis eindelijk een gezicht.

Hotel-like comfort at home I bought these pillows from Beautyrest and they really exceeded my expectations. They are very soft but at the same time have good support, which helps you rest better throughout the night. They feel like luxury hotel pillows, especially because of their down-like filling. The jumbo size is perfect and they come well filled, they are not easily crushed. In addition, the cotton cover feels fresh and of good quality. They arrived quickly and well packed. After using them for several days, they maintain their shape and comfort. I definitely recommend them if you are looking to improve your rest without spending too much.

They aren't super firm; they are more comfortable than rigid 😊
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
I bought these pillows, and honestly, I really liked them. They have a medium firmness that helps significantly with neck pain, yet they remain soft and fluffy without going flat during the night. They hold their shape well and have good loft, so you don't have to keep adjusting them constantly. They don't have any unpleasant odor right out of the package, nor do they slide around much inside the pillowcase something I really appreciate. Overall, they feel comfortable and are of good quality for sleeping in any position.

These pillows feel soft and fluffy without being too flat. They provide nice support for the neck and feel comfortable whether sleeping on your side or back. After several nights of use, they still keep their shape well and don’t feel too warm during the night. The set comes with two pillows, which makes it really practical for the bed.

Luxury Comfort and Perfect Support – Best Pillows Ever!
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
I recently purchased the Serta Hotel collection Pillows White Goose Feather Down Fiber Gusseted, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! These pillows are the perfect balance of softness and support — plush enough to feel luxurious, yet firm enough to keep my neck properly aligned all night. The gusseted edges really make a difference, helping the pillow hold its shape and look full even after weeks of use. The quality of the materials is excellent — the outer cover feels smooth and breathable, and there’s no feather poking out like with cheaper options. I also appreciate that they fluff back up easily after use, making the bed look hotel-perfect every morning. If you’re looking for comfortable, high-quality pillows that provide great value for the price, I highly recommend these. They’ve truly improved my sleep!
