Rescue Story
Bellekom, Paulus Petrus & Amalia (Schweiger) Eleazar and Jaantje Jacobson, a Jewish couple from The Hague, lived next door to the Bellekoms, who ran a small grocery store. In October 1942, Paulus and Amalia Bellekom and their two young children took in the Jacobsons and their daughter Elizabeth and the family hid in their attic, giving Amalia a small amount of money for food. In March 1944, a Jew who was married to a Christian woman and knew the Jacobsons betrayed them to the Gestapo along with 27 of their relatives. They were all deported and the Jacobsons died in Auschwitz, while Paulus Bellekom spent a year in Dachau for harboring Jews. He survived and returned to the Netherlands after the liberation. January 16, 1979, Yad Vashem recognized Paulus Bellekom and his wife, Amalia Bellekom-Schweiger, as Righteous Among the Nations.
