When the persecution of the Jews intensified in the summer of 1942, Jacques decided that the only way to save his family was to go into hiding. Neighbors and acquaintances helped Jacques, who ran a textile business in the village. The policeman Witteveen from nearby Sellingen gave Jacques the address of Lammert and Grietje Huizing, who were prepared to hide them. A financial arrangement was made---65 florins a month, just enough to cover the living expenses of the five extra people. The Sachs family was given a small room on the lower floor of the farmhouse, completely isolated from the outside world. They never left the farm and they were only permitted to join their host family in the kitchen in the evening, when the windows and doors were locked. Lammert and Grietje, who had a young daughter, only told Grietjes parents about the hidden Jews. While hiding people, Grietje gave birth to another child. On June 17, 1944, Dutch collaborators raided the Huizings farm in search of Resistance member Dirk de Ruiter. During the search, the invaders broke down the wall behind which the Sachs family was hidden. All of them were arrested and deported. The Sachs family was taken via Westerbork to Auschwitz, from where their daughter Henriette was taken to Libau and was the sole survivor. Lammert was sent to Vught and then to Sachsenhausen, where he died in November 1944. After the war Henriette returned to her home village and later met up with Grietje and her two daughters. On January 29, 1980, Yad Vashem recognized Lammert Huizing and his wife, Grietje Huizing-Haveman, as Righteous Among the Nations |
