Woven in Courage EP 13 Justice, Darkness, and the Light That Followed

Episode 13 of Woven in Courage reveals one of the most powerful and unsettling chapters of WWII history in the Netherlands: the post-liberation trials of the men who ran the Scholtenhuis, the feared SD and Gestapo headquarters in Groningen. Using survivor testimonies, Dutch tribunal archives, and the wartime journal of resistance member Fedde Visser (Group 2000), this episode uncovers the crimes and eventual fates of: • Karl Peter Berg – SD commander • Willem Feldmann – brutal interrogator • Klaas Carel Faber – SS executioner who escaped to Germany • Pieter Johan Faber – co-perpetrator in executions • Koop (Jacob) Koning – Dutch police collaborator • Robert Wilhelm Lehnhoff – “de Beul van het Scholtenhuis,” responsible for numerous murders We examine how the Netherlands confronted its darkest wartime figures, how the resistance shifted from secrecy to accountability, and how Dutch communities faced the trauma left behind after five years of Nazi occupation. But Episode 13 also holds a profound contrast: a love story born in the ruins. As justice unfolded in the courts, two young Dutch survivors met at a community dance in 1945. Their story — from first laughter to marriage, a child, and their immigration to Canada in 1953 — shines light into the shadows left by the Scholtenhuis. This episode blends WWII history, true crime investigation, resistance testimony, post-war justice, and family legacy, bringing listeners into the emotional heart of the Dutch experience under occupation and liberation. ⸻ 🔔 If you’re new to the series: Start with Episode 1 to follow the Visser family’s journey through resistance, survival, and liberation. ⸻ WWII Netherlands, Dutch resistance, Scholtenhuis Groningen, SD trials, Nazi occupation Netherlands, Klaas Carel Faber, Karl Peter Berg, Willem Feldmann, Dutch collaborators, Groningen history, de Beul van het Scholtenhuis, war crimes trials Netherlands, postwar justice, Canadian immigration Dutch, WWII storytelling podcast, true history documentary, Woven in Courage podcast, Visser family story, Dutch emigration 1950s, historical narrative podcast.
