Rescue Story
Bol van der, Daniël & Wouterina Maria (Rademaker)
Henny Philipps-Roos arrived in Holland from Germany in 1933. She worked as a housekeeper in Amsterdam until August 1943, at which point she decided it would be prudent to go into hiding. Henny had friends with contacts in the underground and through them she managed to acquire an ID card without the “J” stamp and a place to hide, with a family in The Hague, South Holland. After only a few months, this hideout became unsafe and a new address had to be found. Meus van der Poel* was active in the underground and put Henny in contact with his cousin, Wouterina (Woutje) van der Bol. The van der Bols welcomed Henny into their home. Henny paid her hosts a monthly stipend to cover the cost of food, which was becoming increasingly scarce as the war continued. The van der Bols ran a small business in The Hague, supplying scouring powder for kitchen use and sand for domestic cats. They operated their business out of a stable on the ground floor of their three-story home. The van der Bols collaborated with the family of Woutje’s cousin, Meus, and when he was arrested by the Germans, Daniël (Daan) and Woutje took the Jewish girl Meus had been sheltering into their own home. The new arrival shared the attic with Henny and with the van der Bols’ ten-year-old son until the war’s end. None of the neighbors were aware that the van der Bols were sheltering Jews, and the two hidden fugitives never went out into the street. The girls, as well as Meus van den Poel, all survived the war.
On June 27, 1985, Yad Vashem recognized Daniël van der Bol and his wife, Wouterina Maria van der Bol-Rademaker, as Righteous Among the Nations.
