Lived in De Bilt. Son of Salomon Haim Coronel (cigar maker) and Maria Johanna Bruijn van Rozenburg. Unmarried (two marriages, twice divorced). Marconist. No church. Member of the resistance under the pseudonym Harry de Boer. In 1942, Coronel, a good amateur boxer, left for Germany as part of the mandatory Arbeitseinsatz. In an attempt to escape this and move to the Netherlands, he was arrested at a border control on October 12, 1942. Because he had a forged identity card, he had to spend several months in detention in the prison in Oldenburg. On March 15, 1943, Coronel managed to escape to the Netherlands. He took part in the resistance and was involved in, among other things, helping Jewish people in hiding. In the course of 1944 he joined the Radio Order Service as a radio operator and used the station name Arend. A transmission system was found during a raid by the Ordnungspolizei in the J.C. Pompe laboratory of the Onze Lieve Vrouwen Gasthuis. He refused to surrender to the robbers, which resulted in a shootout in which he was shot dead. A street is named after him in the Amsterdam district of Geuzenveld-Sloterdijk.
