News at Eleven: On a fateful autumn evening in 1938,

Leo Vroman and Tineke Sanders were seated one person apart at a student club dinner in Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands. The two had never met. When the young man separating them stood to leave, Leo turned to his right and, as a way of being friendly, offered Tineke some of his rice. She shook her head and her eyes briefly met his. In that instant, the course of Leo's life was transformed.

"My God," he thought to himself. "My wife."
