They were all actively involved in rescuing Jews. Ans Geerling-Roos, who was connected to the Westerweel* group, acted as an intermediary between Jews in need of hiding places and her parents and siblings. In May 1943, Ans gave Gideon Drach, a member of the Hechalutz youth movement, the address of her brother and sister-in-law, Anton (Ton) and Annie Roos, in the city of Utrecht. Gideon then brought Ruth Durlacher (later Ruth Dor) and Aliza Tichauer (later Peretz) to the Roos home, where they were offered shelter. Ton and Annie had four children under the age of seven. At the time of Ruth and Aliza's arrival, Ton and Annie were already hiding Robby Hartog, a Jewish infant who was later apprehended in the home of another family and murdered by the Germans. After Ruth had been hiding with Annie and Ton for two months, she asked them if her husband, Heinz Durlacher (later Zwi Dor), could join her. They agreed. To make room for Heinz, Aliza was relocated to Ton's sister and brother-in-law, Thea and Jan Bruijn* in Alkmaar. Heinz and Ruth's three-year-old son was in hiding elsewhere and Annie and Ton allowed him to visit his parents periodically in their home, despite the danger involved. During the time that Ruth and Heinz were living with the Roos family, a brother and sister of Ton were caught while taking part in an important action against the Germans. The brother, Cornelis Roos*, was executed; the sister was sent to a concentration camp in Germany. Even this did not deter Annie and Ton from endangering their lives to help refugees. They continued to offer the people hidden in their home comfort and a sensitive understanding of their predicament. In February 1944, the Durlachers left Ton and Annie to head for Eretz Yisrael via Belgium, France, and Spain. On September 21, 1978, Yad Vashem recognized Anton Roos and his wife, Annie Roos, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
