Jozef Israëlsstraat 16a

Reint Dijkema comes from a reformed family. After his final exams, he studies medicine in Groningen. In May 1940, Reint was active as a volunteer medical soldier in Den Helder. The German invasion and the persecution of the Jews deeply affected Reint. In May 1942, Jews are obliged to wear a yellow star. In protest, Reint and his brother also decided to wear a star. On May 4, 1942, they were arrested in Groningen. A detention of six weeks follows in Camp Amersfoort. After his release, Reint becomes increasingly involved in illegality. He is active in the Student Resistance, with the illegal magazine De Geus, with Trouw and the National Organization for Aid to Hiders (LO). The focus will be on the work in the Fighting Teams (KP). The growing stream of people in hiding asks for distribution vouchers and other documents. Gangs obtain these documents by committing robberies. After the April-May strikes of 1943, the number of people in hiding increased sharply. Reint is almost completely absorbed in KP work. He uses the pseudonym 'Remco'. To promote the consolidation of resistance in the province of Groningen, Reint is approached to coordinate the Fighting Squads in Groningen. On May 17, 1944, an action took place by the KP Remco and the KP Wim. Together they commit a robbery at Drukkerij Hoitsema. Reint is responsible for the liquidation of Nazi Elzinga. A wave of arrests began in May 1944. While cycling on the street in Groningen, Reint was recognized on June 4, 1944 by a former classmate who worked as a police inspector for the occupying forces. He is taken to the infamous Scholtenshuis. He is interrogated by the SD under severe abuse. During his interrogations, Reint takes almost all the blame. His faith is a great support to him. Reint is transferred to Camp Vught and shot here on August 22, 1944. His family remains uncertain about his fate until the end of 1945.
