    Richard Schoemaker was a cadet at the Royal Military Academy from 1905 and active in various sports, especially fencing. In it he participated in the Olympic Games in London in 1908. He became a professor of architecture in Bandung and then in Delft.
    Shortly after the beginning of the German occupation in 1940, Schoemaker formed a resistance group. The group spied and collected weapons. [1]
    The Schoemaker group was not affiliated with the Ordedienst, but was in contact with the Mekel group. [2]
    Mainly Delft students were involved in these two groups. [9]
    On May 2, 1941 he was arrested due to treason in the building of construction sciences of the TH Delft, imprisoned in the Oranjehotel and between September 5, 1941 and April 11, 1942 in Kamp Amersfoort, [3] where he was sentenced to death in the OD trial. He was murdered by the SS at the edge of the execution trench at Sachsenhausen concentration camp (Oranienburg, Germany). [4]
    He is on the Erelijst van gevallenen 1940 - 1945 (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament) [5.1.] and is bearer of the bravery award Verzetskruis (Resistance Cross) [5.2.]
    In 2022, historian Dr. C.J. van Dullemen published the biography: Architect in Bandoeng, verzetsstrijder in Delft, leven en werk van prof.ir. Richard Schoemaker (Architect in Bandung, resistance fighter in Delft, life and work of prof.ir. Richard Schoemaker). [7]
