Geertruida Wijsmuller
The exact number of Austrian children that fled through Wijsmuller's organisation is not exactly known but according to her biographer runs up to 10,000. The last transport—now known as Kindertransport—took place on May 14, 1940, three days after the Netherlands were invaded by the Nazis, on the last ship leaving Dutch waters, the SS Bodegraven, on which she managed to place 74 German and Austrian Jewish children.
