Dr. de Clercq Zubli, a general physician, lived in the south of Amsterdam. Among his patients were a large number of Jews. With the measures that segregated Jews from the non-Jewish population, de Clercq Zubli continued to see to their medical needs contrary to Nazi orders. In the summer of 1942, with the start of the deportations to the extermination camps, he became involved in supplying false food stamps to those who went into hiding. These he received from the local resistance group of Gerrit van der Veen*. The Germans became suspicious of De Clercq Zubli, and a number of times police officers forced themselves into his home to look for evidence of resistancee. Dr. de Clercq Zubli also issued false medical attestations, so that Jews could receive a postponement of deportation. In this way, he prevented deportation of his Jewish neighbors, the Reinders family of four. When in November 1942, police came to the Reinders apartment to take them away, de Clercq Zubli spontaneously intervened and stated that one son of the Reinders had scarlet fever, a contagious disease, very much feared by the Germans. On the basis of this statement, the Reinders family got a postponement of a number of weeks, enough time to find a hiding address. Another patient, Ies van der Ster, also received a false medical attestation, which enabled him to postpone deportation. On May 3, 1944, de Clercq Zubli was urgently called to treat the resistance fighter Gerrit van der Veen*, who had been badly wounded during a raid by the resistance on the Weteringschans prison in Amsterdam. De Clercq Zubli went to treat him, fully realizing that van der Veen was now a major target for the Germans. Two weeks later, during one of his visits with van der Veen at his hiding address, both van der Veen and de Clercq Zubli were arrested. Van der Veen was executed on June 10, 1944. Dr. de Clercq Zubli was sent to the Vught (Herzogenbusch) concentration camp on July 6, 1944, from where he was deported to Sachsenhausen in September. He survived and returned to Amsterdam, where he restarted his medical practice.
On March 18, 2001, Yad Vashem recognized Julius Karel Isaac de Clercq Zubli as Righteous Among the Nations.
