A Mr. Klinkert found a hiding place for the boy with the Hoogen family in Haarlem, North Holland. Antonius Hoogen was a telegraph operator in the head office of the PTT in Amsterdam. He and his wife, Johanna, had two children, 12-year-old Ton and seven-year-old Toos. Alexanders name was changed to Fonsje Pronté, and because he had pronounced Jewish features the story was spread that he came from France. Only the local pastor knew that the child was Jewish. During the hunger winter, there was so little food that Alexander nearly died of starvation, but Johanna Hoogen did everything possible to take good care of him. Ton and Toos were taken to relatives who had more to eat, but Fonsje stayed with his foster parents and food was obtained for him from Friesland. After the war, Alexander went to live with his fathers brother in Amsterdam, but he had become so attached to the Hoogens that he spent nearly every weekend with them. On October 13, 1997, Yad Vashem recognized Antonius Hendricus Bernardus Hoogen and his wife, Johanna Coenradina Maria Hoogen-Galema, as Righteous Among the Nations. |
