Memorial Groep de Groot

Anda Kerkhoven (born on 10 April 1919) was a member of the resistance. She was arrested by the SD on 27 December 1944 and executed on this location on 19 March 1945.

Gerrit Boekhoven took the pseudonym Henk de Groot for his illegal activities. He and about thirty fellow resistance fighters thus formed Groep de Groot. One of the members of the group was Dinie Aikema. She was fierce and inspiring and became Boekhoven's right-hand man in the group. They became a couple and operated in their resistance work as "Mr. and Mrs. De Groot". From 1942, Groep de Groot played a major role in the distribution of illegal identity cards and ration cards.
