zij hadden geen kinderen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Op 20 juni 1944 vertrok het gezin-Troost, en met hen Jan en Jobje, in het kader van de evacuatie van Ooltgensplaat naar de gemeente Dubbeldam, waar zij onderdak vonden op de boerderij van landbouwer A. van der Merwe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Op 29 maart 1945 waren de zestigjarige Pieter Troost, zijn schoonzoon de vijfentwintigjarige Jan Kanters, landbouwer Van der Merwe en Troosts zeventienjarige zoon Leendert op zoek naar brandhout, toen zij op een Duitse patrouille stuitten. De drie mannen werden met ijzerdraad aan elkaar gebonden en moesten ruim anderhalf uur op de grond liggen; daarna werden zij door een nekschot in koelen bloede vermoord, terwijl de zeventienjarige Leendert \u2014 vanwege zijn jeugdige leeftijd gespaard \u2014 moest toezien. Uit het latere onderzoek van de Oorlogsgravenstichting blijkt dat Jan Kanters politiek volledig betrouwbaar was; hij werd uitsluitend gefusilleerd omdat hij tijdens de bezetting brandhout was gaan halen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pas op 18 juli 1945 werden de lichamen gevonden bij het graven van een kabel nabij de Kop van &#8217;t Land, tussen Dubbeldam en Dordrecht. Op 23 juli 1945 werden Jan Kanters en zijn schoonvader Pieter Troost onder grote belangstelling in Ooltgensplaat begraven, na een rouwdienst in de Gereformeerde kerk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-jksecmap-087fbb6df549813ead9d2a407e5defb2 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_layout_row  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_left'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1119'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jkhrmap-ee7bf4f526c04f6089b067cfff637c1c\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-jkhrmap-ee7bf4f526c04f6089b067cfff637c1c{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jkhrmap-ee7bf4f526c04f6089b067cfff637c1c hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_google_map  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div  class='av_gmaps_sc_main_wrap av_gmaps_main_wrap '><div id='av_gmap_0' class='avia-google-map-container avia-google-map-sc av_gmaps_show_unconditionally av-no-fallback-img ' data-mapid='av_gmap_0'  style='height: 400px;'><a class=\"av_gmaps_browser_disabled av_text_confirm_link av_text_confirm_link_visible\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/?api=1&#038;query=Oude-Tonge,%20Nederland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaarten zijn uitgeschakeld door de bezoeker op deze site.
