Albert Boer

Albert Boer

Albert Boer (born 1935) is the author of "Kamp Schoorl".

The book is in Dutch and is the history of an internment camp in Schoorl, Netherlands. Born in Holland in 1935, he came to the United States in the early 1950s and attended Atlanta University (now Clark). He worked in the civil rights movement for years and worked at and directed Settlement Houses (United South End Settlements, Elizabeth Peabody House). He was an accomplished sculptor in wood, clay and bronze. The sculpture of Harriet Tubman in the Harriet Tubman House is his. He lived in two houseboats - one in Fort Point Channel and one in Schoorl, Nederlands. Boer moved back to Holland in mid 1980s, bought a Pension (a type of guesthouse) which he named the Sneeuwgans and later wrote Kamp Schoorl.
