During the German occupation of Holland, Johannes spent most of his time involved in Resistance activities, in particular finding hiding places for Jews and supplying them with food. With his assistance, the Elsbachs and another family, the Asschers, found more than one hiding place. Johannes also helped dozens of Jewish adults and children, among them the physician Isaac Dasberg and Jocob Soetendorp, later the rabbi of the Liberal Dutch Jewish congregation, whose baby son Abraham was saved by Johannes. Johannes kept in contact with his fugitives from the end of 1942 until the end of the war, motivated by a sense of solidarity with the Jews. His intensive involvement in illegal activities meant that he was often in danger, and therefore he changed his name and was known as Hank Dirksen. On November 11, 1969, Yad Vashem recognized Johannes Hildersom as Righteous Among the Nations. |
