Albert van Dooren, an officer with the Belgian Marines, worked for the Resistance, forging identification cards, finding hiding-places for Jews, and carrying out various missions. In 1942, he provided the Swierczynski couple, in Seraing, (Liège/Luik), originally from Poland, with forged credentials, and helped them cross the border into France. First, Albert Van Dooren took two of the couple’s five children, 13-year-old Chaja and one of her younger brothers, together with their father. They traveled by train, the father in one compartment, Albert Van Dooren with the … [Show more]children in another. At a certain place, when the train slowed down and stopped for a few minutes, Albert made the children get off the train and run through the fields as fast as they could until they reached a place where – according to prior planning - their father joined them. After a long hike through forests and fields, Albert told them: “You are in France.” At that point other resistance activists came and took over. Three weeks later Albert Van Dooren made the same dangerous journey with Chaja’s mother and her three younger siblings. Towards the end of the war the Germans arrested Albert Van Dooren and kept him incarcerated nine months in the Merxplas camp. Upon his release, he participated in other missions for the Resistance, and in the course of one such action, he was shot dead by a German, on September 5, 1944. He left behind a wife and a son, named Fernand.
On January 29, 1990, Yad Vashem recognized Albert van Dooren as Righteous Among the Nations
