Hugo and Aaltje Hoogvliet were poor vegetable growers raising their seven children in a very small house, but despite their circumstances they welcomed Maurits and treated him like one of their own. They told the neighbors he was an orphan from Rotterdam whose parents had been killed in the bombing. The LO contributed a small amount to cover his expenses. Maurits's mother fell ill while she was hiding with the van der Hoeks* and had to be hospitalized. She died in June 1944 and Maurits remained with Hugo and Aaltje until the end of the year. He then had to be moved because their son, Freek, was a local LO activist and also because their neighbors were NSB members who found out that Maurits was Jewish. Maurits was moved to another family, Arie and Japy Bekker*-van Herk*, also vegetable growers living in Rockanje. On June 29, 1995, Yad Vashem recognized Hugo Hoogvliet and his wife, Aaltje Hoogvliet-'t Mannetje, as Righteous Among the Nations.
