Person
Maurits (Mau) Goudeket was a board member of the Liberal Jewish Congregation (LJG) in Amsterdam in 1945.
After the five-year HBS, he studied mathematics and physics. During his service in the anti-aircraft artillery, he attended an officer's training course.[1] After his studies, he was an assistant to a professor.[2] On 23 October 1940, he signed a declaration that he had more than two Jewish grandparents.[3] On 29 January 1941, he received his doctorate for a chemistry dissertation.[4] Because of the anti-Jewish measures, he had to leave his job and went to work as a teacher at the Jewish Lyceum.[5]
During the occupation, he went into hiding, separated from his wife and newborn son, and became involved in the underground.[6]
The Nieuw Israelietisch Weekblad of 9 November 1945 published an advertisement in which the Association of Liberal Religious Jews called on former members of the former LJG to help re-establish the LJG. Those interested could report to Goudeket.[7] On 17 November 1945 Otto Frank sent him a postcard in which he stated that he was interested in doing so.[8]
In 1947 Otto Frank sent a copy of Het Achterhuis to Goudeket, who at that time was living and working in Curaçao. Goudeket sent him an extensive letter of thanks on 8 August 1947. In it he also wrote how unfortunate it was that the new Amsterdam LJG had already fallen into disarray. He was referring to internal conflicts between various parties involved.
He was appointed rector of a high school (which one is not known) in 1960 and retired in 1978.[9]
