Christian pacifist Kees Boeke was born in Holland, but raised in England among Quakers. He married Betty Cadbury, daughter of the chocolate manufacturer. In Bilthoven, Netherlands, they built a “Brotherhood House” and gathered people committed to their radical brand of pacifism. Kees and Betty refused to touch money, rejected all moneymaking activities, and used Betty’s Cadbury inheritance to set up a fund for the workers of the chocolate factory. They refused to pay taxes or even buy postage stamps. When they crossed a toll bridge, they paid with eggs. Kees Boeke was instrumental in establishing the International Fellowship of Reconciliation in Holland, Germany, and France. He is also highly regarded as an educational pioneer; even the Queen of Holland enrolled her daughters in his alternative school.
