with a Hai plaque "in appre-
ciation for (their) memorable
deeds."
Livonia Mayor Edwar d
McNamara presented Koois-
tra with a key to the city,
making him an honorary
citizen.
Speaking to the congrega-
tion, Kooistra told how his
wife began lighting candles
on the Jewish Sabbath.
The Kooistras made their
first trip to Israel in 1958 at
the invitation and expense of
an Israeli woman who was
rescued by the couple.
At her Haifa home, the
woman told them how her
mother, who was killed in a
concentration c a m p, had
prayed every Friday night
as she lit the Shabat candles.
Giving candles to Mrs.
Kooistra, she asked her to do
likewise. Since 1958 Mrs.
Kooistra has lighted candles
every Shabat.
For three years, Kooistra
hid the eight Jews from his
neighbors and children.
Neighbors had suspected
them of dealing in the black
market since Mrs. Kooistra
was always buying extra
food and clothing.
"My father hid the Jews
in his workroom which was
always locked," said the
Kooistras' daughter Anneke.
"We were told if we ever
went near there, we would
be severely punished. We
were so afraid that we
stayed away," she said.
Translating for her father,
Anneke, now Mrs. Donald
Burke, said "when my par-
ents first touched the soil of
Israel and saw the Israeli

girls singing for them, they
cried."
Kooistra went to the Wail-
ing Wall with one of those
he had harbored and re-
called, "At the Wall, I
realized that we all pray to
the same God." He added
he has since become friends
with the Jews who once lived
in his workroom cupboards.
Anneke, a former member
of the Livonia congregation,
brought her parents' deed to
its attention. In May, the
Kooistras were honored by
the Flint Jewish community.
Recipients of the Yad
Vashem Award, the Koois-
tras were brought to the at-
tention of the memorial
authorities by the Israeli
woman. Following a year's
investigation in which wit-
nesses were sought and

letters written to verify their
actions, the Kooistra name
was inscribed in a special
book at the memorial.
There is a tree planted in
their honor along the Street
of the Righteous Gentiles,
and a square in Haifa is
named for them.
