1. Buchter, Leventina (1920-2012) (Huygens Institute, in Dutch). Excerpt (in translation):
During the war, Tineke Buchter emerged as a resistance fighter from the very beginning. With her grandmother and mother, she helped about a hundred Jewish people in hiding, including her best friend Tirtsah van Amerongen and the trade unionist Henri Polak. The boarding house on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal was a perfect cover for Jews waiting for a hiding place, the hiding place in the attic served in case of acute danger. Tineke stole and forged food coupons and identity cards, arranged hiding places, cycled far and wide for people in hiding, managed to talk friends who had been arrested into acquitting them at the Gestapo, but never ventured into armed resistance or espionage. The resistance group of Johan Brouwer, for which she briefly worked as a courier in 1942, was too impetuous and impulsive for her; she(Submitted on November 1, 2024.)considered Brouwer himself a dangerous fanatic. During raids on the boarding house and interrogations by the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) she was arrested three times and once knocked unconscious she did not hesitate to charm her interrogators with her grace and fluent German: no German could get any information out of her.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, October 31, 20242.

2. Tina Strobos, 19202012 (The Week, January 9, 2015). Excerpt:
Strobos immigrated to America after the war and settled in Westchester, N.Y., where she worked as a psychiatrist, said the Westchester Journal News. She never regretted her risky wartime exploits. Your conscience tells you to do it, she said. I believe in heroism, and when youre young you want to do dangerous things.(Submitted on November 1, 2024.)
