In January 1943, a contact found a hideout with Cor Dol and his wife Geesje, the daughter of Klaas and Dora Kreeft*, in Hillegom, South Holland, for Bep van Thijn-Trompetter. The same contact arranged for Bep’s one-and-a-half-year-old daughter to hide in the same area. In April of the same year, the contact betrayed all the Jews in his care. Fortunately, Geesje’s brother, Roel, warned Bep of an imminent house search by the German police and she managed to escape to another address. When the police realized that Bep had escaped, they arrested Cor and sent him to the prison in Scheveningen and from there he was transferred to Vught. In his first three months in detention, the Germans constantly harassed Cor. They were simultaneously interrogating Geesje in her home in an attempt to extract information about the hidden Jews. Neither Cor nor Geesje ever disclosed any information. In the meantime, when Bep learned that her infant had been sent to Westerbork, she joined the child of her own free will. Bep and her daughter were later sent to the East and they returned.
On March 19, 1985, Yad Vashem recognized Cor Dol and his wife, Geesje Dol-Kreeft, as Righteous Among the Nations.
