Jacques Kokernoot was a son of Alexander Kokernoot and Sipora Hart.[1] His father was a plumber; [2] he was responsible for, among other things, the installation of the fire safety  system and plumbing in the cinema Het Hallen-Theater in Jan van Galenstraat near the Central Market Halls.[3]

In 1941, Jacques was enrolled at the HBS secondary school at Jozef Israëlskade 45 in Amsterdam, where he was to start in the first year after the summer holidays.[4] Because Jewish students and teachers were banned from attending regular schools from 1 September 1941, he had to transfer to the Jewish Lyceum. In the schoolyear 1941-42 he was in class 1L2, which also included Anne Frank.[5] Anne refers to him as Jacques Kocernoot.[6] He had to repeat the first year and was in class 1B during the 1942-'43 school year.[7] On 6 May 1943 principal Elte reported that Jacques had left the school.[8]

On 6 and 7 June 1943, two trains with Jewish children left Camp Vught, including Jacques, his mother and sister Cato, for Westerbork.[9] Father Alexander had been incarcerated there since October 1942.[10] From there, the entire family was transported to Auschwitz on 14 September 1943,[11] where all four were murdered on 17 September 1943.[12]
