The farmer she purchased the goods from was sheltering a Koosje Bonte, a Jewish woman and feared for both their lives. He decided to ask the Hornkamps to shelter the her in their home instead. Elisa immediately agreed. The entire Hornkamp family, including two teenage daughters, worked together to protect her and others from deportation. The Hornkamps were always willing and eager to help. On Koosje's 29th birthday, which fell on June 24, 1943, Elisa visited all of Koosje's friends and acquaintances in Amsterdam and collected birthday wishes for her from them. Koosje never forget this gesture. The Hornkamps also sensed that Koosje was lonely and so they took in another Jewish ward, Tolle Obstfeld, and later two more Jewish women, Saar van Thijn and Jenny Fieyra (later Rosenthal), a nurse. All four of these women survived the war. While in hiding, Jenny and Saar worked for Dolf Obstfeld, a Jewish furrier who lived opposite the Hornkamps and managed to avoid arrest. When his wife was caught, the eldest Hornkamp daughter, Jeanne, rewrote her baptism certificates in her name and sent them to Westerbork. Mrs. Obstfeld was consequently sent to Theresienstadt and survived the war. The Obstfelds' son Joseph stayed with the Hornkamps for one week before being relocated to another address. He too survived the war. Koosje, who did not have a Jewish appearance, soon left their home using false papers. During the war, Adrianus was also involved in Resistance organizations and for this work Prince Bernhard posthumously awarded Adrianus and Elisa with the Resistance Memorial Cross on May 19, 1983. On December 19, 1985, Yad Vashem recognized Adrianus Hornkamp, his wife, Elisa Agnes Hornkamp-Waltman, and their daughters, Adriana Hornkamp and Elisa van der Hoed-Hornkamp, as Righteous Among the Nations.
