| Aantekeningen: | Last Name: Hartigh den First Name: Pieter Date of Birth: 07/11/1902 Date of death: 18/01/1970 Rescuer's fate: survived Nationality: THE NETHERLANDS Religion: CALVINIST Gender: Male Place during the war: Broek op Langedijk, Noordholland, The Netherlands Rescue Place: Broek op Langedijk, Noordholland, The Netherlands Rescue mode: Hiding File number: File from the Collection of the Righteous Among the Nations Department (M.31.2/1372) Levie Elte, his wife, Belo, and their two grown-up daughters, Klara and Sarah, lived in Den Helder, North Holland, until they were forceibly evacuated to Amsterdam in 1942. The Elte family remained in the capital until June 1943, when Jacob Balder's* agency offered them a hideout near their former home, in Den Helder. Levie accepted and he and his wife moved in with Pieter and Teunisje (Teuntje) den Hartigh. Their two daughters hid with Pieter's sister, Griet de Krijger*, and her husband. Both families lived in the area of Broek op Langedijk, a small village where only the closest friends of the families knew about their illegal activities. The den Hartighs were devout Calvinists and acted out of deep religious conviction and not for financial gain. (The fugitives paid their hosts a reasonable monthly sum towards their upkeep, which barely covered the food they ate.) The atmosphere in Pieter and Teuntje's home was open and friendly and they offered the Elte's moral support throughout their entire time in hiding. "The time we spent with this family was, in spite of the war, a very good one," Levie later recalled in his testimony to Yad Vashem. During the Eltes' time in the den Hartighs' home, the security situation worsened and they were forced to move in with the van Marrums* in nearby Heerhugowaard for six months. When the danger in Broek op Langedijk subsided, Levie and his wife returned to the den Hartighs, where they stayed safely until the end of the war. After the war, the Eltes and the den Hartighs remained in close contact. On June 29, 1978, Yad Vashem recognized Pieter den Hartigh and his wife, Teunisje den Hartigh-Boskamp, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
