| Aantekeningen: | Last Name: Sprengers First Name: Jos Maiden Name: Deyle Date of Birth: 08/02/1923 Rescuer's fate: survived Nationality: THE NETHERLANDS Gender: Female Place during the war: Uitgeest, Noordholland, The Netherlands Rescue Place: Uitgeest, Noordholland, The Netherlands Rescue mode: Hiding File number: File from the Collection of the Righteous Among the Nations Department (M.31.2/4677) Cornelius (Cor) Deyle, a poor widower, father and grandfather of a large family lived with his daughter Jos Deyle (later Sprengers) in a windmill in Uitgeest, North Holland. In April 1942, Alfred Baroch was ordered to report to a labor camp. An underground worker took care of his three-year-old daughter, Edith, and his wife, Bertha, gained time for herself and her husband by undergoing surgery on a healthy knee. An underground worker then escorted the couple to Cornelius's windmill. The Barochs had obtained false identity papers and went by the names of Piet and Greetje Kleigeld. Cor and Jos gave them a private room and they employed a carpenter to build a hiding place in a closet. Alfred, who did not look Jewish, was permitted to use the outhouse, but Bertha had to crawl into the duck house several times a day. The fugitives helped with the daily household chores such as grinding grain in an old coffee mill and chopping wood. Alfred, who was a tailor, sewed skirts and hats that Jos traded for food. For as long as the Barochs had money, they paid their hosts a monthly sum. German soldiers often arrived at the windmill to feed their horses or buy provisions. Each time they came, the Barochs rushed into their hiding place. On one especially cold night in January, when Jos had been informed that the Germans were carrying out house-to-house searches, she took Alfred and Bertha, dressed in coats, gloves, and boots, into her own bed so that the guest bed would look unused. As a precaution to ensure that they would not be discovered, Jos, in her twenties, gave up her social life. In February 1945, Alfred and Bertha ran out of money. When they told Cor that they could no longer contribute towards their own upkeep, Cor responded: "You will remain with us, and we will share what we have." On the day of the liberation, Jos acquired three bicycles and she accompanied Alfred and Bertha on a search for a Resistance worker who knew the whereabouts of their daughter, Edith. They found the child in Blaricum, North Holland, and stayed with her there for a few days to allow the child to get used to her parents again and then they all returned to Uitgeest. In 1960, Alfred and Bertha Baroch, who were then living in Buffalo, New York, invited Cor to Edith's wedding. Cor, who had never left Uitgeest, went to America and stayed with his wartime family for six months. On July 16, 1990, Yad Vashem recognized Cornelius Deyle and his daughter, Jos Sprengers-Deyle, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
