Bio: 

Peter was born in Amsterdam in 1935. In 1942, when Peter was 7, the Nazis seized Peter's entire family except for Peter and his mother. Peter's mother contacted the Dutch Underground for help. The Underground found Klaas and Roefina Post who agreed to shelter Peter and his mother on their small farm in northern Holland, putting their own lives at risk. For two years they lived with the Posts until it became too dangerous and they found another hiding place with two women in The Hague. Peter, his mother, and his aunt were the only survivors of his family. Klaas and Roefina Post have been recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.

After the war, Peter and his mother immigrated to the United States in 1949, arriving in New York. Peter was 13 and didn't speak any English, but was placed in the 8th grade. Peter had a long career as a radiology technologist. He and his wife Bea raised two children from Pete's previous marriage and had a third son in California. The Metzelaars moved to Seattle in 1997. Peter continues to be an active member of the Holocaust Center for Humanity's Speakers Bureau.

Episode 21: Peter Metzelaar: Story of a Holocaust Survivor

On this week's Land of Israel Guys Podcast, join us on Holocaust Remembrance Day for a powerful conversation with Doron Spielman , IDF veteran & author of When the Stones Speak. We dive into the connection between the Holocaust and the Oct 7 attacks, revealing archaeological proof of the Jewish link to Jerusalem. Hear about Israel’s spiritual battle, national unity in silence, and why these discoveries challenge those who deny Israel’s legitimacy. 

A must-watch for anyone who stands with Israel. 🇮🇱

Zastavení na říčanském náměstí u obchodů, které provozovaly židovské rodiny. Je konec léta 1935 a na Evropu začínají dopadat stíny v souvislosti s nacistickými rasovými zákony. V Říčanech kousek od Prahy je prozatím klid a mír.

De hele geschiedenis van de Tweede Wereldoorlog is eigenlijk net wat anders verlopen dan je dacht. Dat is een beetje de indruk die je krijgt als je het nieuwste boek van Chris de Ploeg leest, De Grote Koloniale Oorlog. In dit boek plaatst hij de geschiedenis van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te plaatsen in de context van 500 jaar kolonialisme. Hij bekijkt het dodelijkste conflict in de wereldgeschiedenis door de lens van imperialisme en intense klassenstrijd. Wat kunnen we leren van deze blik over het fascisme, kapitalisme, liberalisme en communisme?

Hi, if you're reading this! I've been making music for a long time, but for some reason - I have to work alone. Listen, share your impressions, I hope you like it))) Feedback is very important to me, because it helps me understand which direction to move in. Without a listener, you know, it's hard) The fact that I, like a raccoon, can work in almost any genre, because I'm "omnivorous"! ***Important!!! I would like to separately ask all the cunning and mean - do not try to cheat me out of money. You will lose your time. Yours and mine. There will be no money, no matter how sophisticated you are in your fantasies.***

Music is purely for entertainment purposes only.. Now on iTunes, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Shazam, Spotify, Pandora plus, Deezer, iheartradio, AMI Entertainment, 7digital, MediaNet, Napster, TikTok… Love music and love making it. Also love playing tha piano.
