Informative Reviews for Homeschooling Moms…and a slice of our life as well
In Man of the First Hour , George van Popta discusses the life of his father Jules from his youth in the Netherlands, through the war years, and to the end of his life in Canada.

Jules’s father Taeke, a man so devoted to learning that he would put his feet into cold water to be able to stay awake while studying, was headmaster of a Christian school and heavily involved in various church, educational, social, and political organizations. He strenuously opposed the Nazi movement in the Netherlands which lead to his death in a concentration camp when Jules was a young man.
