COURT ARCHIVE OF DUTCH "JEW-HUNTER" HENDRIKUS KLINKENBIJL AND THE "HENNEICKE COLUMN"
HENDRIKUS KLINKENBIJL (a/k/a "Henk Klingeberg") (b. Arnhem, 1892) Dutch Nazi collaborator, "Jew-hunter" and member of the "Colonne Henneicke". Historically-important court archive consisting of over 200 pp. of testimony, research and documents documenting evidence given in the Dutch state's case against Klinkenbijl. The Henneicke Column was a group of Dutch Nazi collaborators working in the investigative division of the Central Bureau for Jewish Emigration ("Zentralstelle fr juedische Auswanderung"), with headquarters in Amsterdam, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Between March and October 1943 the group, led by former auto mechanic Wim Henneicke and Willem Bried?, was responsible for tracking down Jews in hiding and arresting them. The group arrested and "delivered" to the Nazi authorities over 8,000 Jews. Most of these unfortunates were deported to Westerbork concentration camp and later shipped to and murdered in Sobibor and other German extermination camps. The bounty paid to Henneicke Column members for each captured Jew was 7.50 guilders (equivalent to about $47.50). The group, consisting of 18 core members, ended its work and was disbanded on October 1, 1943. However, the organization's leaders continued working for Hausraterfassungsstelle (Central Bureau for Jewish Emigration), tracking down hidden Jewish property. Before the German retreat from the Netherlands in May 1945, Henneicke was assassinated by the Dutch resistance in December 1944 in Amsterdam. Included in this important archive is: Klinkenbijl's employment contract with Lippmann, Rosenthal & Co. Sarphatistraat, Amsterdam, for a monthly salary of 230 guilders, June 30, 1942. Lippmann, Rosenthal & Co. was a Dutch Jewish bank. During the war, the Germans used the name of the bank for a separate branch, located at the Sarphatistraat. This branch was used to confiscate the funds and possessions of Dutch Jews. Not only bank accounts were confiscated, but Jews were also forced to deposit their art collections, jewels etc. at this bank. If a Jewish family was deported from their home, their possessions at the bank were sold and the funds used for various purposes, including financing of the Westerbork transit camp. High-level Nazis could also pick from the art collections, with other pieces were sent to German museums. ALSO: transcripts of reports from November 1942 to September 1943, listing each arrest of a named Jewish citizen by Klinkenbijl, Henneicke, and others, giving brief information as to where the person was found, personal details of arrestee, the duration the person was in hiding and a listing in detail of any valuables or cash that were discovered and confiscated. In one case, 107 pieces of silverware, coins worth 35,195 Dutch guilders, Persian rugs, and Wellner silverware were all marked as delivered to the German police, and ultimately the "Central Bureau for Jewish Emigration". ALSO: a statement by Klinkenbijl made during an arrest in Brussels wherein the arresting officer notes at conclusion that Klinkenbijl is being accused of raping women and children of Jews under the false notion that it may save them. Other documents include a photostat of his membership registration in the N.S.B., a witness statement identifying Klinkenbijl and Henneicken, who had claimed to be from the S.D. seeking the Jewish family "Houthakker". They searched the house, confiscated furniture then took a police car to arrest family members. One of the more damning pieces of evidence present is a three-page list of more than 59 victims of these "Jew-hunters", including children, indicating the dates of capture, fate, potential collaborators, and witnesses. Other documents include the arrest record for Klinkenbijl, on October 3, 1945 at 10:30 A.M.in Amsterdam, on grounds of membership in the N.S.B. under the category "Judische Hausraterfassung" and his transfer to Levantkade, and an appeal for his release, signed by Klinkenbijl, Dec. 18, 1945, 2pp., written while detained at Camp Levantkade, Amsterdam. Klinkenbijl claims that did no harm, and that while he was employed by Lipmann, Rosenthal he was able to warn Jewish citizens of imminent danger to their lives and of the confiscation of their property. On Sep. 21, 1943 he claims he was accused of sabotage, sentenced to death and transferred to the concentration camp Amersfoort and then to Neuengamme in Hamburg. Klinkenbijl further claims that he joined the NSB in October 1942 more or less under pressure from Lipmann, Rosenthal. He goes on to claim that in April 1945 he was on board the passenger ship Cape Ancona at Neustadt, then being used for concentration camp prisoners. After the bombardment and sinking of the ship he was interned by the British and on June 22, 1945 he is re-arrested in Brussels for collaborating with the S.D.. ALSO: two photostatic receipts for payment for Jews delivered to the SS, both naming Colonne Henneicke as recipient of 37.50 guilders for each of the five Jews listed; and a questionnaire for Hendrik Johan Van der Woude for the Nederlandsche Arbeidsfront in triplicate, May 22, 1944, likely another member of the "Group Henneicken". This is a highly-important archive, only partially translated by us, and it should be carefully researched!
