Pieter (Piet) Deenekamp, an underground activist, was assigned the task of helping Jewish Resistance member Chava Bornstein (later Leesha Rose) escape from her hideaway at the Joodsche Invalide Hospital in Amsterdam and escorting her to a shelter outside the city. Initially, Piet took her to his own home in the city of Utrecht, where she stayed for five days. There, she met many Jewish refugees who were either in transit or were permanent lodgers there. In September 1943, Piet took Chava to the home of Ari Marten and Nel de Koning* in Leiden, South Holland. Piet, a postal clerk, then put Chava in touch with the Leiden Resistance group, thus enabling her to resume her underground activities. Piet gave Chava the courage to pass as a non-Jew using false identity papers, thus helping her overcome a fear she had developed after only narrowly escaping deportation from the Hollandsche Schouwburg. Piet’s wife, Adriana, cooperated with him in all his activities. She personally took care of the fugitives in their home. When the Nazis raided their home and deported all the fugitives discovered there, Adriana was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück and then Bergen-Belsen. Piet and their teenage son, Jan, were not at home at the time and thus avoided arrest. Adriana returned home alive, but a broken woman.
On March 25, 1980, Yad Vashem recognized Pieter Deenekamp and his wife, Adriana Bardina Deenekamp-Hulsink, as Righteous Among the Nations.
