In 1939, a group of Jewish refugee children from Germany were living in a summer house in Loosdrecht which belonged to the Jewish orphanage in Amsterdam. Philip, who lived nearby, told Westerweel about these children, who had nothing to do all day long. As a result, they were brought over to attend classes at De Werkplaats in Bilthoven. In August 1942, when Philip was a medical student and an active member of the Westerweel Resistance group, Yigal Rothman, one of the refugee boys, was ordered to report for deportation to Poland. Philip brought the boy to Bilthoven, where he lived with his mother, Henriette (Jet) Rümke. She immediately agreed to shelter Yigal and never asked for any money in return. He stayed with the Rümkes for several weeks, but had to leave after a stranger saw him in the house. Philip found a new hiding place for Yigal and continued to take care of his needs, as well as those of many other Jewish children. When Benno Turteltaub (later Baruch Tor) and his older brother Meier were in danger of being deported, Philip took the boys by train to Utrecht to a hiding place that he had arranged in advance. Until the end of the war, Philip Rümke brought them food coupons and letters from friends, and solved whatever problems arose. Benno survived the war, but his brother was caught and murdered in an extermination camp. On August 25, 1988, Yad Vashem recognized Philip Rümke and his mother, Henriette Wilhelmina Johanna Rümke -Everts, as Righteous Among the Nations.
