Tine was shocked and soon after the German invasion of Holland vowed to resist the Nazi regime in any way she could, joining others involved in Resistance work. In mid-1941, the pro-Nazi staff of the hospital informed her that her outspoken views would lead to her arrest and she fled to Amsterdam. There she immediately attracted a group of activists and together they forged identity papers and searched for hiding places for Jews around the country. In August 1942 she was arrested and then released. The Germans closed off part of her house to prevent her from hiding people but this did not stop Tine from continuing with her activities. Jacob Fraenkel of Amsterdam heard about Tines efforts to hide Jews. He was looking for a place to hide his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Mirjam Ruth. In the summer of 1942, he asked Tine for help and she assured him she would find a place for her. To get to know the little girl better, Tine took her out for walks, and, on September 1, 1942, found a hiding place for her in South Holland and escorted her there herself. Fraenkel also referred some 30 or so other Jewish parents to Tine for help in hiding their children. These included Eva and Joost van der Lijn of Amsterdam. In the spring of 1943, after having got to know the children by taking them for walks, Tine found a hiding place for Eva, six, and her baby brother, Joost, in the east of the country. When the family where Joost was hiding decided it was too dangerous to keep him, Tine went to Hengelo to pick him up and found him an alternative address. Tine hid many Jews and other refugees in her home for varying periods of time. When the Jewish hospital was to be closed at the end of 1942, Tine put on a Jewish star so that she could move freely around the hospital and went to get Liesel Weiss, a chronically ill woman, out. She put her in a barrel, covered it with a blanket, and took her home. Tine took care of Liesel until July 1943, when her Resistance activities once more brought her to the attention of the German authorities and put Liesel in danger. Tine found her a place to stay until the end of the war. Tine was arrested again on August 3, 1943, and this time she was taken to the Vught concentration camp, where she worked as a nurse. Her job allowed her to go to neighboring villages to get medication and while on these shopping trips she continued her underground activities. In October 1944, she was transferred to Ravensbrück and then to other concentration camps. She was liberated from Oranienburg-Sachsenhausen on April 22, 1945. After the war, Tine contacted Liesel Weiss and made sure she was getting proper medical attention. Liesel joined her brother in Israel in 1950 and Tine visited her there every year. On May 3, 1984, Yad Vashem recognized Tine Boeke-Kramer as Righteous Among the Nations. |
