In 1941, George and his colleagues were taken into custody in Scheveningen, but after awhile his friends were shot and he was released. After this incident, George fell seriously ill, but as soon as he recovered he resumed his illegal activities. George and his wife, Wilhelmina, lived in Amerongen, Utrecht, in a large plant nursery that they ran together. By December 1942, they were already hiding many Jews there. Thus, when a member of the UKC* brought the two-and-a-half-year-old son of their friends to their home for safekeeping, he was warmly welcomed. The house was so isolated that the child, Yosef Vles, could play outdoors. "Mr. Dagnelie was under suspicion," Yosef told Jane Marks, who wrote a book about hidden children. "The Germans showed up at the house quite often, and when they did, I was hidden either in the basement or upstairs in the tiny, secret room that Mr. Dagnelie had made for me. [There were] chests in the hall covering the doorway so it didn't even look like a room was there." One night, the Germans searched the house, but George had left in time. When one of the Germans opened the door to Yosef's bedroom, another said: "Oh, leave the child alone!" Yosef, who was actually awake, feigned sleep throughout the entire search. At the end of the war, Yosef was six years old. When his mother came to fetch him, he politely asked her: "Madam, will you sometimes allow me to go back to Amerongen?" On October 25, 1978, Yad Vashem recognized George Albert Dagnelie and his wife, Wilhelmina Margaretha Carolina Dagnelie-Bremer, and their daughter Marie as Righteous Among the Nations.
