Geertruida Wijsmuller-Meijer
Geertruida (Truus) Wijsmuller-Meijer (Alkmaar, 21 April 1896 – Amsterdam, 30 August 1978) was a Dutch war hero, resistance fighter, and probably after Raoul Wallenberg and Aristides de Sousa Mendes the greatest savior of Jews. She was recognized as Righteous among the Nations by Yad Vashem. In all likelihood, she, together with others involved with Kindertransport, saved more than 10,000 Jewish children.
==Early life==
Geertruida Meijer's parents owned a drugstore in Alkmaar, where she also attended the School of Commerce. Her parents taught her to "always help those people who really deserve and need it, no matter the colour of their skin or their religion", she would later recall. After WWI her parents fostered weak and hungry Austrian children in their home.
In 1912, the family moved to Duivendrecht. Two years later she got her first job at a bank where she met her husband, banker J. F. Wijsmuller (born in Amsterdam on February 25, 1894); they married in 1923. When it became clear that she could not have children, Wijsmuller-Meijer decided to become involved in social work, which ultimately led to her rescuing Jewish children.
