[edit] Bas Jan Ader's Parents
Does anyone known whether this artist was the son of Rev Bastiaan Jan Ader (1909-1944) and Johanna Adriana Ader-Appels (died 1994), author of the well known Dutch resistance autobiography "Een Groninger Pastorie in de Storm", and also the couple who hid Johanna-Ruth Dobschiner, author of the autobiography "Te mogen leven!" well known in English as "Selected to Live"?
They certainly had a son Basjan (he appears - spelled that way - in the picture section of Mrs Ader's book) and he would very likely have been born in Winschoten in 1942 as Ds Ader was a minister at nearby Nieuw-Beerta. My guess is that this is the child who is called Hansje in the text of the book, as the younger child, who never saw his father who was killed by the Germans shortly after his birth, was named Dikkie (officially Victor Emanuël).

Received the following anonymous message on my own talk page:
I'm pretty certain he was, as you say, the son of Rev Bastiaan Jan Ader. What I know of Bas Jan Ader the artist is that his father was a clergyman, and that he was from Nieuw-Beerta. If you take those words for facts, i guess that would make it pretty conclusive.
Greetings from Winschoten.

- You might check with User:Maberry, she's a librarian at Otis College of Art and Design, where Ader graduated, and might have access to that info. scot 20:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Authenticity
there seems to be somewhat of an edit war going on based upon the authenticity of the works here. Whatever claims are made need to be referenced so a neutral point of view can be presented Minnaert 17:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Whoever keeps putting unsubstantiated rumors, slander, and innuendo on this page needs to stop now. It does not follow Wikipedia guidelines. All references need to be sourced. There needs to be a neutral point of view.Hqknight 09:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
