{{cite web}}: (עזרה) A summary of the short biographical note: van Tijn was born Gertrude Francisca Cohn in Braunschweig, Germany. She studied social work with Alice Salomon in Berlin. She moved to England in 1910, and then to the Netherlands in 1915 after the onset of World War I. In 1919 she married a Dutch engineer Jan van Tijn. They had one daughter and one son. From 1925 until 1932 they lived in South Africa, and then returned to Holland. She began work with refugees in 1933, and became head of the Emigration Department with the Committee for Jewish Refugees. She was also the secretary for Werkdorp in Wieringen. She and her husband divorced in the 1930s. At the outset of World War II, her children left the Netherlands. van Tijn remained in Holland and chose not to go into hiding because of her work assisting refugees. In September 1943 she was sent to the transport camp at Westerbork and then to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. In July 1944 she was among those Jews exchanged from Bergen-Belsen for Germans in Palestine.{{cite journal}}: (עזרה){{cite web}}: (עזרה){{cite web}}: (עזרה){{cite web}}: (עזרה)Raphael Henri Eitje was the lynchpin of the Comité’s efforts. He had already been active in the Jewish community and continued during the occupation. Letters between him and Dutch and foreign government departments, police and local authorities try to secure work permits, passports or visas. He wrote to shipping companies and agents for timetables and to book passages. He sought temporary accommodation for refugees, introduced them to potential employers, arranged small financial payments, using a crucial network of contacts in the Netherlands and abroad, and links that the Comité had built with Dutch and foreign rescue and relief organisations. Eitje was deported with his wife and son to Bergen Belsen where they all perished in the winter of 1944-5.
