Bontekoestraat 3

Poll was born in 1889 as the son of Menno and Cornelia Poll. He was educated by his father at De Kromme Akkers primary school. From 1903 Poll, like his father before, went to the training college in Groningen. In 1907 Poll completed his education. Where Poll lived and what he did between graduating and the 1920s is not known. The first known of Poll is that he was a teacher in Dordrecht in the 1920s. In 1928 he went to work in Deventer for a secondary school for girls that was yet to be established. In 1934 Poll moved to Hoorn and became both director and teacher of Dutch at the Rijks Hogere Burgerschool Hoorn.

During his directorship, the school was requisitioned several times by an army force.[2] The first time occurred during mobilization. The lessons then took place in a number of empty houses on the Eikstraat. After the capitulation of the Netherlands, the students returned to the school building. The school building was requisitioned by the Germans in 1942, because the barracks behind the school were found to be of insufficient quality. The Germans initially only used the ground floor, which meant that 250 students had to find accommodation elsewhere. On August 1, 1943, the entire school building was taken into use. The Ortskommandantur settled in the school building and part of it was used as a field hospital. The RHBS had to store part of the inventory in the Oosterkerk. In addition, the lower classes received fewer lessons and the lessons of the upper classes took place at various locations in the city centre. A number of lessons took place for a short time in the school building of the primary school on Muntstraat. Later, a cheese warehouse was also used and the top floor of Villa Alewijn, where the Kadaster was located at the time. In the nearby Waag, the attic was used to give drawing lessons. The spaces, including the vestry, in the Grote Kerk were also used for teaching lessons. Line drawing, however, was taught in the Craft School at the Keern. On June 21, 1944, the day after the graduation ceremony, Poll was arrested by two SD men because his name was mentioned in a letter about Jews in hiding. After his arrest he was taken to the prison at the Weteringschans in Amsterdam.

Immediately after the beginning of the occupation of the Netherlands by Nazi Germany, Poll started silent resistance and quickly became a member of the resistance. The group Poll became a member of was known as the Orde Dienst and later in the war became the Internal Forces. Poll became involved with the WIM Service through a colleague from the gymnasium in Dordrecht. Apart from the group, Poll arranged for some of his male students to go into hiding so that they were not transported to Germany to be put to work. He probably died between Flossenberg and Wetterfeld, during a march from Buchenwald to Dachau. His date and place of death are unknown and his body has never been identified.
