Rescue Story
Bastiaans, Jan & Cornelie Carolina Henriette Nina (Tengbergen), & Warsen Truus (Bastiaans)
When Bob Jacobs was a young child he fled Germany and went to live with Jan Bastiaans, a high school teacher in Haarlem, North Holland, and his wife, Cornelie. Jan and Cornelie had four children, three of whom were adults, and Truus (later Warsen), the Bastiaanses’ youngest daughter, who was still living at home. From 1937 two brothers from the Dutch East Indies, Jan and Carel Berenschot, whose parents had sent them to Holland for their education, also lived in the Bastiaanses’ home. In the summer of 1943, when Hanna Cohen-Chichou was trying to hide her parents, she contacted her former school friend Truus and asked her to help out. Truus’s parents consented to hide the couple. However, when Truus arrived in Amsterdam to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Cohen-Chichou she discovered that they had already fled to another hiding place. Consequently, Truus arranged for another Jewish couple, Roosje and Sander Jacobs, Bob’s parents, to hide in the shelter that had been prepared for the Cohens and she again traveled to South Amsterdam to pick up the couple. Roosje and Sander were hidden in the attic, where they slept in a large closet concealed by posters. The fugitive couple ate downstairs with their hosts. Only the Bastiaanses’ neighbors and their doctor knew that they were hiding Jews. In 1944, the situation in the Bastiaans household became more difficult when Jan fell seriously ill and died in the summer of that year. Then, just before winter 1944, the Bastiaanses’ married son, also called Jan (later a famous neurologist who treated Holocaust survivors suffering from KZ syndrome) came to live in his parents’ home with his wife, Helena, who gave birth to twins in December 1944. Soon after, the other two Bastiaans children returned home with their partners and thus there were 14 people living in the house. Before long, the food coupons ran out and the Resistance unit charged with supplying the Bastiaanses with food was caught. Jan and Carel Berenschot decided to leave the Bastiaanses’ home and head north, where food was still available. Cornelie managed to feed the rest of the household, driven by her strong anti-Nazi feelings and her solidarity with the persecuted Jews.
On January 21, 1999, Yad Vashem recognized Jan Bastiaans, his wife, Cornelie Carolina Henriette Nina Bastiaans-Tengebergen, and their daughter Truus Warsen-Bastiaans as Righteous Among the Nations.
