In the 1930s, Joost’s (Joe) parents fled Nazi Germany for the Netherlands, where Joe and his brother were born. Following the German invasion of Holland, the boys were given false identities and moved in with a Dutch Catholic family, and Joe’s parents went into hiding. Joe’s parents were eventually captured and their father was killed, while their mother was sent to a labor camp in Czechoslovakia. In 1945, the boys were reunited with their mother and soon after they moved to New York City.
