In August 1942, when their Jewish neighbors Lion Alexander and Rachel Content were about to be deported, the Elderenbosches offered to hide them in their home. The Contents accepted the offer and moved into a small room in the Elderenbosch home in October 1942. In February 1943, their 13-year-old son Willem also moved into this hideout after hiding at several other addresses. Later on, a lady named Mrs. D. Broekman-Veldman also joined them in the refuge. The Contents and Mrs. Broekman-VeldmanÂ’s presence was well disguised and even during a search they were not discovered. All four fugitives remained hidden in the ElderenboschesÂ’ home throughout the difficult and dangerous times, right up until the liberation of Amsterdam. On July 26, 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Richard Herman Robert Elderenbosch and his wife, Aukje Wilhelmina Elderenbosch-Siedenburg, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
