Dirk Boonstra (born 1893)

Dirk Boonstra (1893) (24 February 1893, Sint Annaparochie - 9 September 1944, Hersbruck Germany) was a police commander for the village of Grijpskerk in the Netherlands during World War II. It was for his actions here in refusing to carry out an order to round up the remaining Dutch Jews in the area with his fellow policemen that he is recognized in 1988 as Righteous Among the Nations by the Yad Vashem.
