Professor Dr. Jan van Gelder and his family were the first people to help find hiding places for Hendrik and Sophia de Zoete's three daughters, Judith, Hadassah, and Miriam. Eleven-year-old Miriam stayed hidden in the van Gelders' home during the war and Jan and his wife, Nan (née Schrijver), maintained contact with Judith and Hadassah and regularly reported on the three siblings' well-being to their parents. Jan and his wife also sold a number of trinkets to help Hendrik and Sophia pay for board in their refuge. Nan van Gelder, who had an MA in Art History, made sure that Miriam did not fall behind in her studies, and personally instructing her in several subjects. After about one year, Nan's father, a Jewish physician married to a non-Jewish woman, joined Miriam in hiding. When the van Gelders became apprehensive lest the authorities stumble across Miriam in their search for Jan's father-in-law, they arranged to move the young girl to the home of Petronella van Vliet* (previously Lafontaine) in Haarlem.
On October 13, 1964, Yad Vashem recognized Jan van Gelder and his wife Nan van Gelder-Schrijver, as Righteous Among the Nations.
