Tineke van der Willigen Gatsonides
Tineke van der Willigen Gatsonides was a classmate of Margot Frank at the Gemeentelijk Lyceum voor Meisjes (Municipal Lyceum for Girls).
Tineke van der Willigen Gatsonides was born in the Dutch East Indies as a daughter of Pieter Jouke Jelgershuys van der Willigen Gatsonides (1896-1933) and Antonia Hendrica van Elst (1891-1960).[1] Her father served in the cavalry of the army in the Dutch East Indies. When he died at the age of 36 on 3 February 1933, in Bandung, he held the rank of first lieutenant . He was buried the next day with military honors.[2] Following his death, his widow and her three children - Hemanus, Pieter Jouke and Tineke - settled in the Netherlands, first in The Hague and then, in June 1935, in Amsterdam.[3]
Tineke attended the Municipal Lyceum for Girls in the same class with Margot Frank and Barbara Ledermann. She came from the Roemer Visscherschool.[4] From about 1935, the Roemer Visscherschool was also home to 'Mehler's Class', that is, the class where Rabbi Mehler of the Liberal Jewish Congregation gave Jewish lessons.
After her move she kept in touch with Barbara Ledermann. During the holidays she sometimes stayed in Deventer. In the summer of 1941 they cycled together from Deventer to Beekbergen, where Barbara's sister Sanne was staying with an aunt and uncle. Anne Frank was there too.[5] During that holiday several pictures were taken. On two of them you can see Tineke, together with, among others, Anne, Sanne and Barbara.[6]
Tineke was married to Paul van Waveren (1925-2021). She passed away in 2012, 87 years old.[7]
