Lived in Amsterdam, Sassenheimstraat 20hs. Son of A. Goudriaan and H. Wolzak. Unmarried. Office clerk/invoicing clerk for Mercedes Benz. No church. Member of the resistance.
He was forced to work in Koblenz, Germany. There, Cornelis feigned illness and fled from the hospital where he was admitted. After returning to ‘his’ Amsterdam, Goudriaan worked for a saddler. By now he had joined the resistance, the Amsterdam KP group Van der Schilden (alias Lodewijks). From 5 September 1944 (Mad Tuesday) he was section commander of the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten-Strijdend Gedeelte (Internal Forces-Fighting Section) in Amsterdam. Among other things, he participated in raids on collaborators, gave weapons instruction, helped people in hiding and was a contributor to the illegal newspaper Het Parool. He was arrested on 26 February 1945 in the milk shop of resistance member C. Koenis at Woestduinstraat 155 in his hometown. After his arrest, he was transferred to the prison on Weteringschans in Amsterdam. He was executed by firing squad at Rozenoord on Amsteldijk in retaliation for the attack on SS-Befehlshaber Hanns Albin Rauter on 6 March 1945 near Woeste Hoeve.
