Annie Gies-de Haas and her then husband, Frederik Carel Gies sheltered three German-Jewish refugees in their home in Zutphen, Gelderland. Just before they were to be deported in July 1942, Frederik Gies brought Erwin Juhl, his wife, Aenne Juhl-Kaufmann, and her sister Ilse Swaab-Kaufmann from Amsterdam to his home, where they were treated as members of the family. The fugitives stayed there until the summer of 1943, when Frederik, who was Jewish, had to go into hiding because he was wanted in connection with Resistance activities. At first, the refugees were taken to Frederik’s parents’ home and later to friends. The Germans watched Annie and her children closely and eventually the SD appropriated their home and many of their belongings were stolen. The house was left in a poor state but after the war imprisoned NSB women were ordered to give it a thorough cleaning.
On October 17, 1974, Yad Vashem recognized Annie Gies-de Haas as Righteous Among the Nations.
