Anna Rosa Drukker

Hannah Rosa Drukker-van Dam (born Anna Rosa "Ans" van Dam; 15 September 1916 – 9 August 2010) was an Israeli physician and resistance fighter who saved 35 Jewish children and many Jewish adults during the Holocaust.

Early life Drukker was born in Rotterdam as Anna van Dam to Abraham van Dam and Nel Olf. Her mother was a Protestant who converted to Reform Judaism in 1915, after which the family moved to Hilversum, near Amsterdam. In 1926, she underwent an Orthodox conversion along with her mother.

World War II and the Holocaust Drukker was a medical student in Amsterdam when the Netherlands was occupied in May 1940. Following the bombing of Rotterdam, which destroyed the city's population records, she was able to register as a non-Jew (classified as a first-degree Mischling after an appeal). This status granted her relative freedom of movement and an identity card without the "J" stamp, allowing her to move between Jewish and Christian communities without immediate suspicion.

Life in Israel After the war, van Dam returned to her home in the Netherlands and reunited with her family. She completed her medical studies and married Dr. Meir Drukker. In 1953, they immigrated to Israel with their children. Drukker worked as a physician in Netzer Sereni and at the Ma'abara community of Be'er Ya'akov. In 1957, they moved to Jerusalem.

She died in Jerusalem in 2010, at age 93.
