"Life and Legacy of Mona Parsons", a presentation by Andria Hill
Following the death of her Dutch husband in 1956, Mona Parsons returned to Nova Scotia where she spent her final years in Wolfville, where she had grown up. She told fantastic stories of working with her Dutch husband to help Allied airmen escape Holland in the first year of the Second World War. This sophisticated, well-off woman had spent nearly four years as a Nazi prisoner, enduring solitary confinement and multiple indignities. She escaped from the Nazis in the company of a Dutch baroness in March 1945, walking for three weeks across Germany to reach Holland where the first soldiers she encountered were Canadian -- North Nova Scotia Highlanders, no less!
