Joop Westerweel was a Dutch schoolteacher who, during WWII, guided many Jews into France to escape death at the hands of the Nazi Germans that had invaded Holland. He was eventually caught and shot to death by the Nazis. Today there is a grove of trees in Dalia, Israel planted in his name by the survivors that he saved.
