Jacob Israël de Haan

Jacob Israël de Haan ( 31 December 1881 - 30 June 1924 ) was a Dutch Jewish poet and novelist. He was born in Kloosterveen, a village in the province of Drenthe , and grew up in Zaandam . His father was a hazzan (synagogal cantor). De Haan worked as a teacher after obtaining a degree, and studied law between 1903 and 1909. He wrote in socialist publications during these years, and corresponded with Frederik van Eeden , a celebrated author of the period. He initially lived in Amsterdam , where he composed the controversial novel Pijpelijntjes ( 1904 , named after the then-new neighbourhood De Pijp), which featured what can be interpreted as homoeroticism. He married Dr Johanna van Maarseveen in 1907, but this marriage is likely to have been platonic; they separated in 1919, although they never officially divorced. Around 1910 , De Haan developed an interest in Judaism , the Land of Israel and the Zionist cause, wrote extensively on the subject and moved there in 1919 . He rapidly became more religiously committed and sided with the anti-Zionist groups in Jerusalem , for whom he became a political spokesman. There is circumstantial evidence that he was homosexually active during this time, despite his commitment to Orthodox Judaism, which denounces homosexuality. He was murdered in 1924 , allegedly by Zionist extremists, for his political stance. His sister was also a writer, mainly under the pseudonym Carry van Bruggen .
