Rescue Story
Numan, Matthijs Hendricus Johannes
Matthijs (Thijs) Numan worked in the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij laboratory in Amsterdam. When the Germans took over the company and dismissed all the Jewish employees, a group of their non-Jewish colleagues vowed to help them. They formed a clandestine relief organization led by Thijs, Sjouke van Dijk*, and Ton Muller*, who was later replaced by Cor Schelling*. At first, their assistance was financial: in each department of the laboratory, a trustworthy representative collected money, if possible a fixed proportion of salaries each month. After the strike of February 1941, they knew exactly whom they could trust. Soon the Numan family began to take in Jewish fugitives, for which they received small sums of money from the underground. They hid a Jewish couple from May 1943 until May 1945. Seventeen-year-old Max Krzeszower (later Moshe Keny), who was born in Köln and had come to the Netherlands as a child refugee in 1938, had already been hiding in 12 different places when Thijs Numan and his wife, Marretje (later Broeckmans*), took him in. They provided him with identity papers in the name of Johan Jansen. He stayed with the Numans, who had three small children, for three months and was treated very well and permitted to move around freely. Eventually, the Westerweel* group managed to smuggle him out of the country and he finally arrived in Yisrael. After Max’s departure, the Numans took in an Austrian boy from the Loosdrecht pioneer group for awhile and they also looked after 12-year-old Emmy Park for over a year while her older sister, Betty, was taken in by Ton and Annie Muller. However, the girls’ mother wanted them all to hide in one place, so they went to stay with the Dekeths, but they were seized by the Germans and did not survive the war.
On July 8, 1982 Yad Vashem recognized Matthijs Hendricus Johannes Numan as Righteous Among the Nations.
