Background and early career

He was born in Nijmegen. He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1937 to 1967 and in-parliament chairman of the social democratic parties SDAP and its successor the Labour Party from 1945 to 1951.[citation needed]

Imprisonment at Buchenwald and elsewhere

In the mid-1950s he was involved in the eponymous plan adopted by the Council of Europe for the settlement of the Saar question.
