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.

De laatste schermutselingen in Harlingen
De laatste schermutselingen in Harlingen
De laatste schermutselingen bij de bevrijding van Harlingen vonden plaats bij het veilingterrein aan de Spoorstraat en bij het MAZa complex op de Kimswerderweg. Een incident met een vlammenwerper brak de weerstand van de Duitsers.
In 1941 is in opdracht van de Duitsers door een Harlinger aannemersbedrijf een geschut reparatiewerkplaats voor de Duitse Marine (Marine Flak Abteilung 246) gebouwd aan de Kimswerderweg in Harlingen. Dit zogenoemde MAZa-gebouw, Marine Artillerie Zeugambt, is ontworpen in de "Heimatstil", een landelijke bouwstijl. Die bouwstijl verwijst naar traditionele boerderijbouw in Duitsland. De Duitse bezetter paste deze stijl toe om militaire complexen vanuit de lucht te camoufleren. Door de Duitsers werd dit complex de “Siemens Werkstätte” genoemd.
Op 17 april om 04.30 uur hadden de Canadezen de stad in handen, er vonden alleen nog schermutselingen plaats bij het veilingterrein aan de Spoorstraat hier bij de MAZa. In de MAZa hadden zich ongeveer zestig Duitsers verschanst.
Een klein incident bracht snel verandering in de starre houding van de Duitsers. Bij het bijvullen van een Wasp vlammenwerper, in het zicht van de Duitsers, trok iemand onverwachts aan de trekker, waarna de vlammen eruit spoten. De Duitsers weifelden niet langer en gaven zich na 11.00 uur alsnog over aan de Canadezen.
Bij de bevrijding zijn zeker negen Duitsers gesneuveld en werden er ongeveer vierhonderd gevangen genomen. Aan de Canadese zijde vielen alleen twee lichtgewonden.
Sinds 2014 biedt dit gerenoveerde complex 14 woonlocaties met ondersteuning aan mensen die daardoor zelfstandig in hun woning kunnen wonen.
