By coincidence, they met people at this address who were from the place given as Aaltje and HermanÂ’s place of residence on their forged identity papers. Consequently, they were soon suspected of being Jews and were forced to leave their hideout. Aaltje then contacted an underground worker who took her and Herman to the home of Johan and Mannie Bosch. Johan, known as Opa, was a locksmith at Dennenoord, an institute for the mentally disturbed, in Zuidlaren, Drenthe. Dennenoord also served as a center for the Trouw* group, a group of Resistance fighters. Aaltje and Herman stayed with the Bosch family for six months, until the BoschesÂ’ neighbors became suspicious. When the fugitives had to leave, their hosts arranged for them to hide with Pieter and Margje Koning*, who lived in nearby Vries. Johan and Mannie acted purely for humanitarian reasons. During the course of the war, they also helped the Leviticus, Bamberg, and Dalsheim families, who were all being handled by Arnold van Weringh*. On April 26, 1977, Yad Vashem recognized Johan Bosch and his wife, Mannie Bosch-Lazur, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
