Description
According to the Dutch Jewish Museum, the society sponsoring this hospital was founded in 1911 to provide shelter for the frail and elderly in a Jewish environment but funding was entirely from private (not governmental) sources and the difficulty in raising the needed funds delayed its establishment until 1926, and the hospital-home moved to a newer building in 1938, the event which is probably commemorated by this medal (only 100 were struck); in March 1943 the entire staff and patients of the home were deported.
