From the library of Jaap Penraat, with his signature on the front endpaper. Interior designer and architect Jaap Penraat [1918-2006] was active in the Dutch resistance during World War II. He forged identity papers for Jews and smuggled over 400 Jews from the Netherlands via France to safety in Spain by convincing the Nazis they were slave laborers for the Atlantic Wall on France's Atlantic coast. He withstood torture by the Nazis, revealing nothing about his operations. He moved to the U.S. in 1958, where he died in Catskill, NY. Yad Vashem, the official Israeli memorial to Holocaust victims, awarded him the designation of "Righteous Amongst the Nations", and put him on its honor roll on June 11, 1988. Very good .
