In 1937, Klasine (Ine) Dozy was appointed secretary of the Nurses Association in Amsterdam. In 1942, when the situation of the Jews was becoming ever more dangerous, she told her Jewish colleagues that whenever they needed help or if they were forced to hide, they should turn to her. In March 1943, the Jewish Keizersgracht hospital in Amsterdam was closed by the Nazis and Mirjam Schiff, one of the nurses, wandered around for a day before turning to Peter and Ine Dozy. They hid her in their house for eight months, after which they found her a place in an old age home where she worked as a nurse until the end of the war with forged documents. Thanks to her high rank in the Dutch Nurses Association, Ine managed to find places of work for Jewish nurses who had false papers and ration cards. She herself personally checked out the safety of the places she sent people to hide in and stayed in touch with them. The people who hid in her home were only asked for enough money to cover housekeeping expenses, and sometimes not even that. She and her husband acted out of love of their fellow man and opposition to the Nazi occupation, helping Jews at great risk to themselves. Nurse G. Goudsmit-de Vries, who was also saved by Ine Dozy, testifies that the moral support, the concern, and the encouragement that the family gave her during those two difficult years were extremely valuable to her. Hanna Stavi-Prins, one of the nurses who was hidden by the student organization, stayed in touch with Ine Dozy for many years after she came to Israel. Jeanette Gans testified that there were four other people hiding at the Dozys’ house, two of them non-Jews and a Jewish couple. During the war, Ine saved at least 17 Jewish nurses. She found them places to hide and concerned herself with their well-being for the entire time they were in hiding. After the war, some of the Jewish nurses saved by her remained in Holland and some immigrated to Israel, the United States and elsewhere. They all testified to her noble spirit.
On October 25, 1972, Yad Vashem recognized Klasine Cornelia Dozy-van der Goot and her husband, Peter Cornelis Dozy, as Righteous Among the Nations.
