Abstract
Aad Zaanen was born June 14, 1913 in Rotterdam, where his father was a building contractor (Bau-Unternehmer); there were four other children. Earlier Zaanens lived in the country South East of Rotterdam, a low-lying area of dairy farms that my ancestors also come from. That is perhaps one reason why I have always felt close to Zaanen on a personal level, although I am not so close to him as a mathematician.
