He and his family were arrested on January 12, 1944, when his oldest son Loet, who had gone into hiding to avoid to be forced to work in Germany, was caught near home and a radio and resistance newspapers were found. Loet initially could flee but was caught after a month. Frans and Loet were deported to Germany, and son Huub was sent to the Amersfoort concentration camp via the Vught camp, from which he was released on September 18, 1944. Loet also survived the war, but Frans died in Dachau from the typhus epidemic that peaked there in February 1945.
