Albertus Johannes Antonius Haverkort lived at 11 Iepenlaan in Sassenheim. He was the son of laborer/gardener Herm Hendrik, nickname Harm, Haverkort (October 5, 1854 Slagharen - † August 10, 1923 Leiden) and Maria Schomaker (March 5, 1863 Dedemsvaart - † January 10, 1942 Warmond). He was married to Margaretha Barbara Karrer (January 11, 1906 Nuremberg Germany - † September 8, 1972 Sassenheim). The couple had five children. He worked as a baker and trade traveler. He was a Roman Catholic and member of the resistance.
Albertus, nickname Bertus, was a member of the resistance group Neteson in Overveen. He provided shelter to six Jews and a Polish deserter. On April 16, 1944, he went to baker Maarten de Man (November 12, 1907 Haarlemmermeer) in Hillegom by bike in order to deliver yeast. They were both apprehended on charges of having hidden a Pole. According to the Nationaal Monument Camp Vught there probably was question of treason. Haverkort was transferred to the police office Haagsche Veer in Rotterdam where he was tortured. He was initially transferred to the Oranje Hotel in Scheveningen and on July 27, 1944 to the Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Amersfoort (prisoner number 3592) where he remained until August 19, 1944. He arrived in Camp Vught a day before he was to be shot. His name is on the monument on the execution site and on the Roll of Honor in the memorial room of Nationaal Monument Camp Vught. His name also appears on the war monument on the corner of Wilhelminalaan and Hoofdstraat in Sassenheim.
Haverkort was cremated in Camp Vught.
