Amalia Frederika de Leeuw was an infant only two days old when, on January 18, 1943, she was first taken into hiding. Amalia was born in Arnhem. From there, she was taken to The Hague by a relative and was moved again to a family in Rijswijk. From Rijswijk she was borne by the 16-year-old daughter of a close relation of Rev. Gerrit and Johanna Alberts to their home in Vlaardingen (South Holland), where they all hoped the baby would be safe. Taking care of the new arrival was no problem for the Albertses who already had six children of their own, ranging in age from five to 15. Amalia assumed the name Liesje, but nevertheless the sudden appearance of a newborn baby in the Albertses’ home did arouse suspicion in the town. After a year there, Amalia was found out and her life and the lives of her entire foster family were placed in immediate jeopardy. Johanna Alberts selflessly tore herself away from her family home with her foster baby and went into hiding until the situation calmed down. Amalia’s first winter in the Albertses’ home was a harsh one. Food was scarce and now there was an extra mouth to feed. Gerrit and his eldest son were not deterred and trekked far and wide to find food to sustain their large family. Their trips were long and arduous and on many occasions they were stopped by the Germans and had their food confiscated. They returned home safely from their journeys, but the future was uncertain. In all, Amalia stayed with the Albertses for almost the entire first two years of her life, and thanks to their generosity she was spared the atrocities occurring all around her. After the war, the Red Cross assisted Amalia’s parents in tracking down their daughter. Sadly, after the reunion, Amalia’s family and the Albertses lost touch with one other. Wilhelmina (Miep), one of the Albertses’ daughters, subsequently undertook a twenty-year search for her wartime foster sister. An emotional meeting was facilitated in 1990 when the two were reunited through the efforts of the Dutch Jewish weekly NIW.
On September 4, 1991, Yad Vashem recognized Gerrit Willem Alberts, his wife, Cornelia Johanna Adriana Alberts-Rog, and their children, Gerritje, Wilhelmina, Albert, and Cornelis Alberts, as Righteous Among the Nations.
