Noah Pool was a Dutch Jew who lived in the village of Swalmen before World War II. Noah and his sisters grew up on the same street as Johanna Hoffman. Years later, Johanna would describe Noah as strong, but also gentle. Anton Bikker, a guard who impersonated him following his death, would admit that Noah had been a far better man than he would ever be, indicating a degree of respect. Anton would continue living under Noah's name until 2006 when detectives investigating Lo's death learned the truth and Anton was arrested.
