About Herman van Coevorden

Wiegman wrote: 'On 7 September 1944, a house at the Spinnersweg in Hengelo was raided. The SD had been tipped off about Jews hiding out on the premises. The Nazis arrested Jeanette Meyers-Spier from Hengelo, Herman van Coevorden from Rotterdam and Eduard Denneboom from Enschede. They were transferred to Twente airfield and shortly afterwards executed and buried there.

One week later, on 15 September, the SD found two Jewish women when searching the house of family Groot-Bramel in the neighbourhood of Rietmolen. They were Hedwig Wolff-Maschke and Rika van Zuiden-ten Brink, both from Enschede. They, too, were transferred to Twente airfield and shortly after their arrest executed and buried.

During the raid in Rietmolen, the husband and son of Rika van Zuiden, Simon and Israel van Zuiden were shot dead while trying to flee.'
