Memorial Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 282

During World War II, Tineke “Tina” Buchter (later Strobus-Buchter) lived in this house. Together with her mother and her grandmother, she hid more than 100 people in hiding from the Nazis here throughout the war. These hiders stayed here only briefly and never more than five at a time.

Tina Buchter was very active within the underground. She transported radios, forged identity cards and food stamps, arranged hiding addresses, and hid stolen German weapons in her home.

A memorial sign against the facade reads:
“More than 100 persecuted by the Nazi regime found refuge in this house in the years 1940-45, thanks to the courageous actions of its occupants, Tine Strobos-Buchter, her mother Marie Schotte and her grandmother Marie Schotte-Abrahams'.
