Jean-Baptiste De Coster (1896–1968) was a Jesuit father in Belgium who helped find shelters and saved Jews from the genocide committed by the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler.

Work

Some refugees were hidden by De Coster in a monastery and disguised as novice monks.[1] Among others it is known that De Coster found a place to hide for the Blinder family.[1] De Coster reportedly stated: "If these persecuted people are taken, I would have the consolation to leave with them."[1]
