Willem married Margot Schulman, she was a widow and had a 14 year old daughter, her late-husband mr. van Rood had died in a train crash near the town of Weesp in 1925. She was the daughter of the painter Lion Schulman and Anna Frank from Hilversum. We also gained an older sister, Wilhelmina (hense we were called old Wil and young Wil). During the nazi occupation this all-jewish marriage proved to have terrible consequences. (see 1 of the 70) Willem and Margot Willing - Schulman
