Hans had been sent on a train from Vienna to Holland by his parents in December 1938, when he was aged only four. He lived with Lies and Maurice Cane in Amsterdam. In the summer of 1942, when the persecution of Dutch Jewry intensified, the Canes had to go into hiding and, out of desperation they turned to a Protestant minister to help find Hans a new safe address. The ten Hoves were devout Protestants and were inspired by religion to endanger their own lives in the struggle to save childrens lives, and so they agreed to hide Hans. For two years, Hans lived a normal life with the ten Hoves. He attended the school at Domplein, the main square in Utrecht. The school principal, Mr. van Evert, allowed Hans to attend the school despite his not having the required papers. Other people in the area, who knew about the fugitive children, collaborated in order to make their lives as normal as possible. However, Anna and Hans did not exist legally and so they received no food coupons. This was an added problem for the ten Hove family. Nevertheless, two of the ten Hoves adult daughters personally cared for the fugitives. Annie, a nurse, took special care of Anna and Jannie, a teacher, took charge of Hans. The Canes perished in Auschwitz, but Hanss parents survived the war and returned to Vienna. Through an advertisement in the Dutch Jewish Weekly, they located their son. On December 12, 1985, Yad Vashem recognized Tjaard ten Hove and his wife, Gezina Maria ten Hove-van Voorn, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
