In May 1942 the Cahen family was ordered to move to Amsterdam and in May 1943, when Ada was due to give birth again, they decided to look for a hiding place for Tamar. A non-Jewish friend took the three-year-old child to an underground contact and after hiding at a number of temporary shelters she arrived at the home of Cornelis and Trijntje van de Bor in Hilversum, North Holland. Cornelis van de Bor, a railway worker, and his wife, Trijntje, were practicing Christians. They lived with their two sons, aged 12 and 15, in a small apartment. Cornelis brought home a modest monthly salary. The family took care of all of Tamars needs and treated her with much love, as if she were their own daughter. The neighbors were informed that Puck was a refugee from Rotterdam. Cornelis and Trijntje received no financial assistance and because Tamar did not receive food coupons they had to share the little they had. Meanwhile, on June 20, 1943, while Ada was still on maternity leave, her husband, his parents, and her parents were arrested in their home. They were transported via Westerbork to Sobibor, where they perished. Ada, who remained separated from her daughter, received regular letters from the van de Bors telling her about the childs progress. Tamar stayed with the van de Bors until the end of the war. Then her younger sister, Shulamit, joined her there for another six months while Ada searche for a place to live. The Cahens and the van de Bors remained in touch even after Ada and her two daughters immigrated to Israel. On October 28, 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Cornelis van de Bor and his wife, Trijntje van de Bor-Bralts, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
