26 September 1936 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Anne Groenteman (right) was born in Amsterdam.
In 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her mother Lena and siblings Jeanette & John. All were probably murdered together in a gas chamber.

I don't think refs and VAR get enough credit for their running commentaries. I used to 'commentate' in the stand for a blind girl, and it is really hard work. Plus, you are so busy with the factuals that it leaves you little room for bias!
Safe to say referee Sam Barrott appreciated Emi Buendia's effort 👏

"Stromeferry no ferry" as the signposts have it.
The view north along Loch Carron from the old ferry slipway at Stromeferry. The ferries ceased regular operations in 1970 when the A890, the Stromeferry bypass, was completed around the north end of the loch. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
