Forging Freedom
January 6, 2009The reader sees Jaap Penraat grow up in pre-war Holland and witnesses the Nazi invasion of his country. Never liking the invaders, Jaap had become an expert forger so Jews could have non-discriminating papers. Wanting to do more, he forges enough papers to apply as a construction foreman who is overseeing an Nazi project in France. He then disguises Jewish people as his workers to his phony job site in France where they can then go on to Spain and from there go to other countries. Jaap and his partner do this until May 1944. It is refreshing, in country after country whose populations turned a blind eye to the Jewish persecution, to see a young man who saw injustice and risked arrest, torture, and death to use his talents to do what he could. Turns out, his talents were just what people trying to sneak out of the country needed. I like the school “friend” who is a bully grow up to be a loyal Nazi—the bully image is understandable to most kids and at least partly explains why many people refused to help.•
