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.

Gesneuveld op de dag van de bevrijding
Gesneuveld op de dag van de bevrijding
Op zondag 15 april 1945 – de dag die geldt als de bevrijdingsdag van Friesland – kwam hier in Kiesterzijl door Duits geweervuur Jitze Pieter van Dijk om het leven, toen de eenheid van de Nederlandse Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten (NBS) waar hij deel van uit maakte, op een groepje zich terugtrekkende Duitse soldaten stootte.
In afwachting van de komst van de Canadezen, die Leeuwarden al hadden bereikt, wilden leden van de NBS Franeker alvast bezetten, nadat duidelijk was geworden dat de Duitsers de stad zonder strijd te leveren aan het verlaten waren en zich terugtrokken richting Harlingen.
Een groep van enkele tientallen NBS-ers, meest jongemannen uit de buurt, gekleed in blauwe overalls (het bekende NBS-uniform) vertrok aan het begin van de middag op de fiets vanuit Achlum. De bedoeling was om over de Slachtedijk naar de Rijksweg ten westen van Franeker te gaan, om van die kant de stad binnen te trekken. Ze waren bewapend met vanuit Engeland gedropte Enfield geweren, stenguns, handgranaten en een bazooka.
Toen ze net over de brug van Kiesterzijl waren, kwam er vanuit Franeker over de oude Rijksweg nog een verlaat groepje van zo’n twaalf Duitsers aanfietsen. Er ontstond een vuurgevecht, waarbij de NBS-ers dekking zochten in de berm. Jitze Pieter van Dijk, een 23-jarige boerenzoon uit Hitzum, bukte niet diep genoeg en werd dodelijk getroffen in zijn rug.
De NBS-ers trokken zich daarop terug, om lopend via de zuidelijker gelegen spoorbaan alsnog veilig in de stad te komen. De Duitsers reden door naar Harlingen, met achterlating van enkele slachtoffers. ’s Avonds keerden ze met versterking terug om hun kameraden op te halen. Inwoners van Herbaijum werden daarbij gebruikt als menselijk schild.
Het boerderijtje van Ale Houtsma, dat hierachter stond en waar de NBS-ers hun fietsen hadden achtergelaten werd als represaille in brand gestoken. Op datzelfde moment naderden de eerste Canadese verkenners Franeker al vanuit de richting Leeuwarden.
Na de oorlog is, tegenover het gemeentehuis, een straat naar Jitze Pieter van Dijk genoemd. Van Dijks ouderlijke boerderij in Hitzum was een belangrijke uitvalsbasis van het plaatselijke verzet. In het hooi lagen de gedropte wapens verborgen.
