In the summer of 1942, she visited the brothers Meyer and Isaac Asscher, who lived near the ten Haves, and urged them to go into hiding. Initially she and her husband, Professor Tonko ten Have, put them up in their own home. However, since they had grown up in the neighborhood and were widely known as the sons of the late Chief Rabbi of the city and his wife, Clara Asscher-Pinkhof, a writer, this was considered dangerous. Thus, Wilhelmina, nicknamed Zus, found new places for the brothers to hide and supplied them regularly with food coupons and false identity cards. During the war, Wilhelmina also served as an intermediary between people interned in Westerbork and their friends and family outside. Prisoners sent mail to her home and she then forwarded it. This, just like hiding fugitives, was an especially risky acitivity. In the winter of 1944, Wilhelmina was arrested and sent to a woman's prison in Germany, where she was tortured, but she survived the war. On April 5, 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Tonko Tjarko ten Have and his wife Wilhelmina Petronella ten Have-van der Werff, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
