It was very bohemian; Jan was what we might today call polyamorous. He had children with two women who were best friends, and they all lived together as a family. Kore has lived in his current apartment with his wife, Amy June Ferguson-Yoors, and his mother, Marianne Citroen-Yoors, since 2000; his “other mother,” Annabert, lived with them until she went into a nursing home in 2005 .

After the war, Jan married Annabert van Wettum, who grew up in the Hague on the same street as Marianne. They moved to London, where they saw an exhibition of French tapestries that inspired them to learn to weave and make their own looms. In 1947, Marianne joined them and also learned how to weave. Jan showed at Archer Gallery in London and Hugo Gallery in New York, where he moved in 1950 as a journalist. He ended up both taking photos and making tapestries.
