Louisa Steenstra, The Netherlands

Kate Rubin-Marx

While living in Goningen, Holland, Louisa and her husband sheltered Jews from the Nazis by allowing two at a time to live in rooms that the couple had once rented out. A Dutch couple staying with the Steenstra’s told the Germans about their secret and Mr. Steenstra was murdered, but Louisa and her daughter were able to escape the Nazis.
