Gerrit Worms was a member of the SDAP (Social Democratic Workers’ Party) painting crew that was attacked and ill-treated by a gang of NSB thugs near Abcoude in the night of 17-18 July 1936. During this attack he was thrown into the water half-unconscious and bleeding from wounds to his head. The director of the revue, Meijer Hamel, who happened to be passing, took him to the hospital on Nieuwe Keizersgracht.
