Their work of underground resistance was chronicled by his aunt Susan Stroomenbergh-Halpern in her book Memoirs of the War Years: the Netherlands, 1940-1945. After the war, family members immigrated to North America. Having studied in the U.S. and in three provinces of Canada, Case spent a number a years teaching history and religion, and serving as mediator, counselor, and spiritual advisor. During this time, he married and started a family of two children, published a manual for people caught up in religious conflict, and was a contributor to a college text on counseling. By 2000, he had settled in southern Ontario where he began providing therapy and community support in the field of mental health. The change did him good, and the many difficulties he had experienced among people of religion and spirituality led him to begin the process of re-investigation that is documented in The Long Flowing River.view less
