Biography
She was the daughter of Aaron van Dyck and Qatier Bean. She married Bram Kerido in 1927. The couple separated in 1935. She entered into same-sex relationships with a woman named Mip Stodel and opened a ladies' hat shop called “House of Evan” in Amsterdam. The shop was closed by the Nazis in 1941, during the expropriation of Jewish property. The occupants banned Jews from owning a business or working in retail stores. Mip Stodel fled to Switzerland in 1942.
Van Dyck was arrested on Easter Sunday of 1943 by Nazi intelligence officer Peter Schap, who worked at the Amsterdam Jewish Police Department. After agreeing to work for the Nazi intelligence she was released. Under the guise of a member of the Resistance Movement, she offered Jews help in finding asylum and obtaining false documents. Thus, 145 people, including his brother van Dyck and his family, were surrendered to her by the Nazis. About 85 of her victims died in concentration camps. She was responsible for the death of 700 people.
After the war, she moved to The Hague, where she was arrested on June 20, 1945. She was charged with treason on 23 counts. On February 24, 1947, the Amsterdam Special Court proceeded to the Van Dijk case. She pleaded guilty to all charges, explaining that she acted only because of the fear of being killed. Van Dyke appealed, but in September 1947 the Special Court of Appeal confirmed the verdict. A request for a royal amnesty was also rejected.
On January 14, 1948, Anna (Anse) van Dijk was executed. She was shot at Fort Beilmer, Vesperkarspel (now Beilmermer). On the night before the execution, she was baptized and joined the Roman Catholic Church.
