Abstract
Arnold Douwes, an itinerant Dutch gardener, became the leader of one of the most successful rescue networks in Western Europe. What makes him unique is that he kept a makeshift diary of his day-to-day work and experiences, providing a remarkable insight into a role that has often been misrepresented in Holocaust historiography.
