Rescue Story
Born, Petronella Elisabeth Maria (Weernink)
On June 20, 1943, Kurt Hausmann, his wife, young daughter, and mother found themselves on the streets after the Germans raided their Amsterdam home. Petronella Born, a complete stranger, saw their predicament and immediately invited all four of them into her home, despite endangering the lives of herself and her two children, aged 12 and 14. Petronella was motivated to act by pure human compassion for those in dire need of assistance. She never expected any form of remuneration for her actions. Petronella took care of all four members of the Hausmann family until the liberation in May 1945. During the hunger winter of 1944--1945, she went to great lengths to obtain food for the extra mouths.
On March 20, 1980, Yad Vashem recognized Petronella Elisabeth Maria Born-Weernink as Righteous Among the Nations.
