- | '''Gertruida (Truus) Wijsmuller Meijer''' ([[Alkmaar]], 21 April 1896 – [[Amsterdam]], 30 August 1978) was a Dutch war hero, resistance fighter, and probably after [[Raoul Wallenberg]] the greatest savior of [[Jews]]. She was recognized as [[Righteous among the Nations]] by [[Yad Vashem]]. In all likelihood, she, together with other involved with [[Kindertransport]], saved more than 10,000 Jewish children.

- | Gertruida Meijer was a banker's daughter and attended the School of Commerce in Alkmaar. 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. She stopped working at the bank because she anticipated of becoming a mother, but was unable to conceive. Meijer decided to become more involved in social work in 1938 by rescuing Jewish children, illegal work during [[World War II]].

- | She was friends with the opposition wife [[Mies Boissevain-van Lennep]], which she knew from the Association for Women's Interests and Equal Citizenship (VVGS). From the thirties Aunt Hilda (as they soon called) arranged, together with including Mies Boissevain, children's journeys to include the [[Committee for Special Jewish Interests]] which they are a total of 10,000 Jewish children from Germany and Austria via the Netherlands England saved. In Germany she worked in that field along with [[Recha Freier]], the wife of a Berlin rabbi. She was not intimidated, made fuss if necessary, bribed railroad men with gifts and German officers with charm. They had to include negotiating with the man who became the organizer of the Jews Eradication would be the SS [[Adolf Eichmann]], when active in Vienna. Eichmann wanted a joke with her anything: no negotiation, they could immediately 600 Viennese Jewish children weigh heavily. That worked and within days she took them to [[Hook of Holland]], where five hundred of them immediately traveled to [[Great Britain]]. The remaining hundred children were collected in The Hague. After the transports had more structure and a maximum of 150 children at a time agreed. A few times a week traveling "Aunt Hilda" to Germany to pick them up, until the occupation ended the rescue work on this scale since the borders were closed to England. Mrs. Wijsmuller heard in Paris about the German invasion of the Netherlands. She came back ASAP to Amsterdam. There she received the garrison commander of Amsterdam told them the Jewish children from the orphanage to IJmuiden need to allow them to England could. Along the way, a number of children picked up and in IJmuiden, a total of 74 children on board the ship the SS Bodegraven brought the last leaving the harbor. Mrs. Wijsmuller did not take part because she wanted to stay with her husband. The Bodegraven was the same ship on which the famous art dealer [[Jacques Goudstikker]] and his family traveled to England (where Goudstikker and killed by an accident). The ship sailed for England, but because of the German nationality of the children were not allowed to come ashore. One child died the first night on board. The ship sailed on to Belfast, but eventually moored on May 19 in [[Liverpool]].

- | Resistance During the occupation, she rescues illegally produced. For the [[Dutch Red Cross]] she brought packets to refugee camps in southern France. As opportunity permitted, she took Jewish kids and smuggled them to Vichy France or Spain. In 1942 she was briefly fixed by the [[Gestapo]] in the Euterpestraat in Amsterdam. The Gestapo suspected her - rightly - from surgery to dozens of Jews to [[Switzerland]] smuggling, but had to release her because there was no evidence and "Aunt Hilda" gave no relevant information. As the war progressed, she devoted herself to the food. They sent thousands of packages to camps like [[Kamp Westerbork|Westerbork]] and [[Theresienstadt (Concentration)|Theresienstadt]] and duck eggs delivered weekly to elderly houses in Amsterdam. During the famine did they care for malnourished children in the Randstad. She spent many over the IJsselmeer to Groningen, Friesland, Overijssel and Drenthe to recuperate.
