As a child , he helped Jewish neighbors by switching lights for them on " Shabbat " , which they were forbidden to do . When the Nazis occupied The Netherlands and began acting against the Jews , Penraat was an interior designer , architect and sculptor of tiles and statues . He started his resistance activities by forging identity papers for Jews , but was discovered and jailed for several months .

He lost only one man , who was hit by a train . Penraat was tortured by the Nazis but revealed nothing about his operations . After his release , he continued his activities until 1944 , when it became too risky to continue , and he spent the rest of the war hiding in a village , living on sugar beet s . After the war , Penraat became a noted designer in Amsterdam , until in 1958 he moved to the United States . In 1964 , he designed the Dutch mill cafe , for the New York World ' s Fair . He remained silent about his wartime activities until his daughters convinced him that his grandchildren should know about them . He went on to describe his experiences to school groups . In subsequent interviews , he insisted he had only " done the decent thing " . Yad Vashem , the official Israeli memorial to victims of the Holocaust , awarded him the designation of Righteous Among the Nations and put him on its honor roll on June 11 , 1988 . A longtime friend of Penraat ' s , Hudson Talbott , authored a children ' s book about Penraat ' s activities , entitled " Forging Freedom : A True Story of Heroism During the Holocaust " .

Penraat died at his home in Catskill , New York at the age of 88 , three years following the death of his wife , Jettie . He is survived by his three daughters , Marjolijn , Mir , and Noelle .

Ephraim McLean Brank Ephraim McLean Brank was a soldier in the War of 1812 , noted for his exceptional marksmanship at the Battle of New Orleans . Early life and family . Ephraim Brank was born on August 1 , 1791 in North Carolina . He was the son of Robert and Margaret ( McLean ) Brank . His mother was the sister of future Kentucky Congressman Alney McLean . Brank received his early education in his home state and moved to Muhlenberg County , Kentucky in 1808 . He settled in a house on Main Street in Greenville about a half mile north of the county court house . He practiced law and also worked as a surveyor . Brank married Mary Campbell . The couple had five children : Louise ( Brank ) Taylor , Tabitha ( Brank ) Yost , Samuel C . Brank ( who died in childhood ) , Rev . Robert G . Brank , and Mary Jane ( Brank ) Yost . Mary Campbell Brank died December 4 , 1850 . Brank later married Ruth B . Weir . War of 1812 . At the outbreak of the War of 1812 , three companies from Muhlenberg County were raised . Brank was commissioned a lieutenant in a company raised by his uncle , Alney McLean , that enlisted on November 20 , 1814 . Brank ' s unit participated in the January 8 , 1815 Battle of New Orleans , serving under General Andrew Jackson and was active until May 20 , 1815 . In the book " Kentucky in the Nation ' s History " , author Robert McNutt McElroy relates the following anonymous anecdote recorded by a British officer who was present at the battle describing an American marksman of great skill and the damage he inflicted on the British forces : In a footnote , McElroy identifies Brank as the subject of the passage . In a 1910 article published in " The Record " , a Greenville newspaper , historian Otto Rothert records that Brank ' s own account of the battle substantially agreed with that of the British officer . One notable difference held that Brank did not reload his rifle himself , but fired rifles that were reloaded and handed up to him by two of his fellow soldiers . In 2003 , rifle expert Gary Yee analyzed the details of the account and determined that Brank could not have single - handedly repelled the British column , but it was likely that his solid marksmanship and imposing presence intimidated the British officers , breaking their resolve and prompting their retreat . Later life and legacy . Brank spent his later years engaged in agricultural pursuits on his farm , but remained interested in the growth and development of his hometown . In 1834 , he was chosen as one of three commissioners to oversee the construction of a new county courthouse . Brank died in Greenville on August 5 , 1875 and was buried under a military headstone at an honored place in the town cemetery . Brank Street in Greenville was named in his honor , and " The Ballad of Ephraim Brank " was composed to celebrate his life .
