During the war was here till July 1943 the “Tehuis Oosteinde”, a department of the Jewish Council. Tehuis Ooosteinde was founded in 1937 as a reception centre for Jewish refugees. At the outbreak of the war, this centre came under the auspices of the Jewish Council and became so a part of the prosecution machinery of the German occupiers. Nevertheless, there were some things happening at the Tehuis Oosteinde. The centre was lead by the German-Jewish refugee Jakob H. Bier (Cologne 10 April 1885 – Westerbork 10 October 1943), who later died in Camp Westerbork due to a blood-poisening which was caused by barbed wire to which he had injured himself. Other people in this resistance group were Max Rubinstein, Uschi Littmann and Jacques van der Kar. Firstly one tried to keep Tehuis Oosteinde as an “island of civilisation” but there were also made falsifications of documents, such as identity cards. There was a resistance group and one helped Jews who escaped from the Hollandsche Schouwburg.
