On 26 February 1814 King William I decreed that the Nederlandsch Israëlitisch Seminarium (NIS) was to be established in Amsterdam to train rabbis, teachers and other officers serving the Jewish community.
David Heijmans, the son of Meijer, attended the NIS.
This person is commemorated on a memorial in Groenlo. More information on this memorial can be found (in Dutch) on the website of the Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei.
