Information Panel Resistance Fighter Benjamin Marius Telders

INFORMATION PANEL RESISTANCE FIGHTER
For:
Benjamin Marius Telders

Benjamin Marius Telders was involved in the events of October 1940, when all professors had to sign a so-called Aryan declaration. Telders led the opposition to this statement. "Until here and no further," he wrote to the president of the Supreme Court, Mr. L.E. Visser.
At the protest speech by Cleveringa on November 26, 1940, he provided the arguments of international law. Telders was arrested because of his resistance and brought to the prison, the Oranjehotel, in Scheveningen at the end of 1940. On April 6, 1945, he died of typhoid fever in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
