When Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, ordinary citizens faced a choice — submit or resist.
Jan Bonekamp, a steelworker and young father from Amsterdam, chose to fight back.
He spread underground newspapers, joined the growing resistance, and inspired others to stand against Nazi terror.
Together with Hannie Schaft, the “girl with the red hair,” he helped lead daring actions against collaborators and occupation forces.
His courage became a symbol of hope for all who refused to bow to tyranny.
Even in the darkest times, Jan Bonekamp proved that one person’s bravery can ignite a nation’s spirit.
