(Jewish Group) Jewish WW2 resistance fighter's remains finally identified after 80 years
The remains of the Jewish resistance fighter Bernard Luza have finally been identified thanks to new improvements in DNA testing, the Dutch defense ministry tweeted on Wednesday.
39-year-old Luza had been shot dead in 1943 after taking part in the resistance efforts against the Nazis and their allies. He was buried in an unnamed grave at the Loeneen National Ereveld resting grounds in 2013 but only identified now.
The DNA was made possible thanks to a relative coming forward in Australia, the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported.
“Now, through the use of DNA technology employed in a relationship study, his [Luza’s] remains were finally identified,” Geert Jonker, head of the Dutch Defense Ministry’s forensic unit specializing in identifying human remains, told JNS. “After more than 80 years, his relatives finally have certainty about the fate of their missing family member,”

Take note, some Jews (many, actually) did resist and even fought back against the Nazis!
