Rescue Story
Berg, Marie Regina Rosalia (Bossard) & Albert
Marie Berg, born in Delft, a widow living in the village of Oosterbeek, Gelderland, and her son Albert (Ab), who came to visit on weekends, were both active in the underground. Marie met Izak de Vries through Jewish friends in Delft and offered him shelter in her home. In March 1943 deportations from Delft were in the final stages and Izak decided the time had come to flee. First he stayed with a family in Delft whose name he had received from Mark Wierda* and then, on March 8, he went to stay with Marie. Except for a short time during the summer he remained there until September 17, 1944, the day on which the Battle of Arnhem began. Izak paid Marie 100 guilders a month for his upkeep. The house was spacious and comfortable, with a garden, a large number of books and records, a hidden radio, and plenty of food. However, his relationship with Marie was somewhat strained and he looked forward to Ab’s weekend visits. In summer 1944 he moved in with the next-door neighbors, the Bremans*, only coming back to Marie for short periods when necessary. During the war, Marie also hid Martin Cohen-Caspari, the head of the Delft Jewish community, and his wife, Lies, for a short time in late 1943. She also hid a Jewish girl named Buchbinder for six months.
On June 3, 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Marie Regina Rosalia Berg-Bossard and her son Albert Berg as Righteous Among the Nations.
