The tile was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2006 by Mevrouw Marijke Moulijn.
Mevrouw Marijke Moulijn was born in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1941. Her family survived the German occupation and World War II in their own home; her father was not Jewish. Her maternal grandfather, Eleazer Eijl, who was Jewish, though his wife was not, was arrested in the Hague in 1942 and sent to Westerbork transit camp. At the end of January 1943, he was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp where he was killed.

Hand painted tile acquired by Mevrouw Marijke Moulijn’s father after the end of World War II in May 1945. It depicts a scene with a Bavarian town and 2 planes flying overhead, with the words: Thanks Eisenhower! April 29, 1945. This may be a reference to the liberation of Dachau concentration camp which occurred on that date. The Moulijn family was not Jewish and they lived in their home in German occupied Belgium throughout the war. The tile was displayed on the wall in her father's study in The Hague.
