Beb & Bob | Collateral Damage

Beb was a young Dutch civilian living under Nazi occupation. Bob was a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, flying missions over Europe. Decades later, their granddaughters — Lisa Koolhoven and Kristen Hayford — met in the Netherlands by chance. As they got to know each other, they discovered a surprising shared thread: both of their families had been shaped by the same war, in very different ways.

Beb was een jonge Rotterdamse die leefde onder de nazibezetting. Bob was eerste luitenant bij de Amerikaanse luchtmacht en vloog missies boven Europa. Tientallen jaren later ontmoetten hun kleindochters – Lisa Koolhoven en Kristen Hayford – elkaar toevallig in Nederland. Toen ze elkaar leerden kennen, waren zij verrast over wat zij bleken te delen: hun beide families waren gevormd door dezelfde oorlog, maar dan op heel verschillende manieren.
