Cornelis Komen was a salesman for an English asbestos company who kept a diary of events in the Netherlands during the Second World War.

Komen recognized the disparity between how his family and Jewish people were treated during a 1943 train trip to an orchard. The outing was disrupted by a raid in Amsterdam that rounded up more than 2,400 Jews for deportation.
