Rescue Story
Berg van den, Kunette (Anneeze) & Anneeze, Johanna Maria
Haya Verveer was born on September 24, 1941. About one year later the Germans executed her father because of his involvement in illegal activities. The Verveer family decided to go into hiding and a hideout for baby Haya was found with the van den Berg family in Leiden, South Holland. The van den Bergs, a family of four that was already active in the Resistance, spread the story that the girl was the daughter of relatives from the Dutch colony of Indonesia. For 17 months the hideout was safe, then, a Dutch Nazi betrayed the family. Isaac van den Berg and his wife Kunette were incarcerated. Johanna Anneeze, Kunette’s sister, who was active in the Resistance movement, helped take care of the baby girl. Kunette was released after five days, but Haya and Isaac were taken to a camp where they remained until the end of the war. In the meantime, Kunette did not give up her fight against the authorities. Together with her sister, Johanna, and their mother, she sheltered many fugitives for various lengths of time. Kunette’s own home became a halfway house for fugitives waiting to be located in permanent hideouts. Kunette simultaneously helped raise funds for the Resistance. None of the money raised was used for her upkeep or for the upkeep of her children. Throughout the entire time that Isaac was imprisoned, Kunette and her two children lived off savings.
On March 23, 1971, Yad Vashem recognized Kunette van den Berg-Anneeze and her sister Johanna Maria Anneeze as Righteous Among the Nations.
