The Groenhijm brothers were the only ones in their family to survive the war.

In addition, the ter Beeks took care of Jewish youths from the “Heimerses” Hachshara House in Twekkelo who, unfortunately, were later arrested and deported. On November 20, 1980, Yad Vashem recognized Willem ter Beek and his wife, Johanna Ludowika Bernardina ter Beek-Stahl, as Righteous Among the Nations.
