This picture is part of the Bernard Grunberg Collection, it was taken in 1936. It shows Bernard, who is at the bottom on the right of the image, on a bicycle trip in Holland. The children who went on the bicycle trip were all Jewish boys from Nazi Germany. The tour went along the German-Dutch border, on the Dutch side. Whilst the children were there they met up with a group of Dutch Scouts, who are pictured with Bernard in this image. Speaking of the trip in 2016, Bernard says: ‘I think the idea was to give you a change from the political city, and take you away from that. I mean at that time Jewish boys were isolated in a way that they would not be in contact with any non-Jewish boys at all. None of the boys would even attempt to be friendly with you, because of the constant anti-Jewish propaganda’.
