‘the Disappearance of Anton Janssen’, is a short documentary (25 minutes) which tries to unfold what has happened to the 26 year old Dutch Anton Janssen, at the end of the war.

Anton Janssen was arrested by a German patrol, after a shoot out near Dreumel, a small town near the river the Waal, in the Netherlands.This area was during the end of the war a no-man’s-land. On a misty morning in November Anton was arrested and later taken to the headquarters of the German Sicherheitsdienst in the town of Utrecht, which was notorious for it’s brutal treatment of ‘terrorists’.

What has happened to Anton during the last days of his life? Was he executed, transported to a camp in Germany and was murdered there? His sister Bertha, 94 of age, takes us back to these dark days in 1944.
