In 1943-03 reporting a Jew in hiding to the occupier was rewarded with 7.50 Dutch guilders. The Kolonne Henneicke became notorious - a group of violent Jew hunters under leadership of Wim Henneicke who worked for the Hausraterfassung - an organization that was responsible, among other things, for clearing the homes of deported Jews. He put together a group of more than 50 men, who in less than a year reported more than 8,000 Jews.
