Tina Strobos, née Tineke Buchter (May 19, 1920 – February 27, 2012), was a Dutch physician and psychiatrist from Amsterdam, known for her resistance work during World War II.
While a young medical student, she worked with her mother and grandmother to rescue more than 100 Jewish refugees as part of the Dutch resistance during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.
Strobos provided her house as a hiding place for Jews on the run, using a secret attic compartment and warning bell system to keep them safe from sudden police raids.
In addition, Strobos smuggled guns and radios for the resistance and forged passports to help refugees escape the country.
Despite being arrested and interrogated nine times by the Gestapo, she never betrayed the whereabouts of a Jew. After the war, Strobos completed her medical degree and became a psychiatrist.
She studied under Anna Freud in England.
Strobos later emigrated to the United States to study psychiatry under a Fulbright scholarship, and she subsequently settled in New York.
She married twice and had three children.
Strobos built a career as a family psychiatrist, receiving the Elizabeth Blackwell Medal in 1998 for her medical work, and finally retired from active practice in 2009. In 1989, Strobos was honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem for her rescue work.
In 2009, she was recognized for her efforts by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center of New York City.
