Among the names Yad Vashem honours as Righteous Among the Nations is Bep Voskuijl.
The record lists Bep Voskuijl as Dutch person who hid Anne Frank (1919–1983).
Bep Voskuijl was born at Amsterdam in 1919. Her recorded nationality is Kingdom of the Netherlands.
By occupation Bep Voskuijl was resistance fighter, secretary and clerical assistant - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Most rescuers said afterwards that they had done nothing remarkable. The historical record disagrees, which is the point of recording it.
Recognition: Righteous Among the Nations (1972).
Bep Voskuijl died in 1983, aged 64. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
