Mirjam Lapid-Andriesse was 10 years old when she was taken from her home in the Dutch city of Utrecht and placed in an Amsterdam "ghetto" with her family in April 1943.
As a child, she was unaware of the gravity of what was unfolding around her.
More than 100,000 Jews from cities and towns across the Netherlands were being gathered up to be deported during World War Two, mainly to death camps at Auschwitz and Sobibor.
The victims included thousands of children. Only 5,000 people survived.
"I was a little girl during the war, so my memories are child memories, not political," she tells the BBC.
"I was the youngest of four children, two boys and two girls. I remember we were taken from the ghetto by train to the Westerbork transit camp in June 1943."
