Leo: A Hero of the Dutch Resistance

By Lawrence Tallentire

Leo Frijda, a leading member of the Dutch armed resistance, was executed by Nazi firing squad on 1 October 1943 in the sand dunes of the North Sea Coast. He was aged just 20. Precisely because he was an unlikely hero of the resistance - a friend recalls how 'he must have won a great battle within himself, because by nature he was a rather frightened boy' - Leo is all the more a hero. He resisted - in word and deed - in a fight to the death.
