Gosschalk and his sister Elise would be part of the group that was interned from the end of 1942 in Barneveld, which was referred to as the Barneveld group. This group comprised people with an important position in society and influential contacts who were exempted from transportation to camps. Between December 1942 and February 1943 a number of people who Gosschalk knew made statements stressing the importance of his work as conservator and restorer for the purposes of obtaining permission for him to remain in the Netherlands. Among them was Hendrik Schuuring (1883-1955), a scene artist and paintings restorer, who lived at Sweelinckstraat 61 in The Hague and made such a statement in December 1942. Gosschalk and his sister arrived in Barneveld in February 1943. Shortly afterwards, on 21 April 1943, the Barneveld group was taken to Westerbork transit camp. They had their own temporary buildings there and in principle they were exempted from deportation to the death camps. Gosschalk made many drawings of the camp and its immediate vicinity. ... In due course the Barneveld group was taken to Theresienstadt concentration camp, where most group members survived the war. On 3 May 1945 the Nazis handed over control of the camp to the Red Cross and on 8 May Red Army troops arrived. Gosschalk survived the war and would return to the Netherlands. (English)
