Headmaster Jakob Klok in the resistance
Headmaster Jakob Klok in the resistance
During the war, Jakob (Jaap) Klok ended up in the resistance in Dantumadeel, where he played an important role. At the time, he lived with his wife and four children in Akkerwoude, where he was headmaster of the school at Hearewei 13. He stayed there until 1947 and will always be remembered as "Headmaster Klok."
Jaap Klok was active socially and in politics as a member of the Dutch Social Democratic Labour Party (SDAP). When party meetings were banned by the German occupiers, Jaap imperceptibly became ever more involved in resistance activities. He passed on party information, distributed illegal newspapers, and looked for addresses for people in hiding. Jaap Klok joined the LO, the National Organisation for Aid to people in Hiding, and became the Akkerwoude village commander.
Although people did not know exactly what he did, it was known that he was in the resistance. Despite the fact that his name circulated among NSB members, he decided not to go into hiding, but instead tried to be even more careful and to sleep at home more often than not.
As the war drew to a close, Jaap became very busy. The Dutch government in exile was calling on railway workers to go on strike. The resistance arranged for the hiding. On 15 December 1944, a group of about sixty refugees from Arnhem arrived at his school. Jaap was indirectly involved in the evacuation committee, which was looking for addresses for the unfortunate Arnhem residents.
Shortly thereafter, he was warned at the schoolhouse that during a raid in Murmerwoude, explicit questions were asked about schoolmaster Klok. Jaap did not hesitate a second and quickly left the house. And not a moment too soon, as ten minutes after his departure the Germans were already on his doorstep. From that moment on, Jaap knew that he had to be very careful. He hardly ever slept at home anymore.
From January 1945 onwards, the situation became explosive. After the discovery of weapons on a farm in Aalsum, the Germans became fanatical. They relentlessly hunted down resistance fighters and used any means to make those who were caught talk. The name "Jaap Klok" was also mentioned during these interrogations. Sufficient reason to leave then and there, with his whole family. The children stayed with relatives. He and his wife went into hiding elsewhere.
During the last weeks of the war, Jaap was very busy. Much had to be organised and discussed within the resistance to expel the Germans and prepare for the arrival of the Canadians. Just before Dantumadeel was liberated, the inhabitants were already beside themselves with joy. They raised the flag and took to the streets en masse to celebrate. Because of his resistance work, Jaap knew exactly what the situation was with regard to the liberation. He climbed onto the balcony of the town hall and addressed the people. After all, the danger had not yet passed. Even when that was the case shortly thereafter, he ensured that peace was maintained among the population of Dantumadeel and thus prevented the molestation of a number of NSB members.
After the war, he held many administrative positions in the province of Friesland. In 1984, Jaap Klok died at the age of 91. Fifteen years later, a statue of him was erected in Akkerwoude, which was then called Damwoude, as a tribute.

(harkje hjir nei it audioferhaal)
Foar dizze sprong doch ik in berop op dyn ferbyldingskrêft. We steane by it reade bankje en geane werom nei it jier 1540, yn deselde tiid as de bou fan de Stins dy’t we niiskrekt seagen. Gean mar eefkes rêstich sitten ast dat noflik fynst.
Bist safier? Okee dêr geane we.
It is de tiid fan de reformaasje en ek Fryslân keart him tsjin it Katolisisme. It is de tiid fan de “hagepreken” en rûnom steane tsjerkjes ferskûle. Sa ek op it plak wêr’t letter de snackbar en it terras stean soene, stiet in skûltsjerkje yn de foarm fan in âld skuorre. Dit is ien fan de earste Doopsgezinde gemeentes. Fan bûten liket it op in âld skuorre, mar binnen wane je jin yn in tsjerke, kompleet mei in preekstoel. It hûs rjochts fan de Pastorij is de âlde pastorijwente. ’t Far rint hjir omhinne en wêr’t letter it pleintsje kaam is, steane noch in pear húskes oan it wetter. Dizze húskes wurde pas yn de jierren sechtich fan de 20ste ieuw ôfbrutsen. Okee, eefkes bekomme? We geane wer fierder!De yllúzje fan tiid learde ús al dat wy oer wetter rinne kinne en dus rin mar mei tusken de grutte balstiennen troch nei de T-splitsing. Stopje hjir mar eefkes.
