Ester tore the yellow star off her coat and traveled to Edam. Four days later, all the members of her family were apprehended and sent to concentration camps. Consequently, Joop and Catharina Dal, who had seven children, of whom three were married, gave Ester a fictitious name, which they inscribed in their family book, and pretended that she was their youngest daughter. The people of Edam were not fooled, but they kept the family secret. Joop Dal worked in a factory and earned 37 guilders a week. Although this was barely enough to feed his family, he never received any payment towards Ester's upkeep and he even gave her a guilder a week as pocket money. On more than one occasion the Germans searched the Dals' home for Jews, radio transmitters, and young men who could be sent to work in Germany. Once, Catharina had a hard time persuading a German that Ester was her daughter. Following this incident, Ester fled to the coast whenever danger was imminent. On April 16, 1978, Yad Vashem recognized Joseph Leendert Dal and his wife, Catharina Geertruida Dal-Ent, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
