Biographie / Histoire administrative

Kees J. Roozen, restaurateur, was born in 1916 in the Netherlands. His family owned a well-known restaurant in the Hague. He himself learned the restaurant trade in various places, among others in Berlin, where he had on occasion to wait on Hitler in 1936. During the war, Roozen maintained a series of scrapbooks, risking his life by including underground and allied publications as well as wartime memorabilia and nazi propaganda. After the war, Mr. Roozen immigrated to Canada and established himself as a restaurateur in Windsor.
