Richard Leonard Arnold Schoemaker (5 October 1886 – 3 May 1942) was a Dutch Olympic fencer, engineer in the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, professor of architecture at Bandung Institute of Technology and Delft University of Technology, and leader of a resistance group during World War II, for which he was executed at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.[1]
He competed in the individual sabre event at the 1908 Summer Olympics.[2] He was one of 95 people who, most posthumously, received the Dutch Cross of Resistance.[3] The street forming the eastern border of the Delft University campus is named Schoemakerstraat after him.[4]
