Juda Pinkhof attended the agricultural school in Wageningen. When Jews were prohibited there, he went to the Paviljoen Loosdrechtse Rade youth aliyah home in Loosdrecht. After leaving the home in Loosdrecht, he went into hiding. He left the address where he was in hiding to try to escape to Switzerland with seven other Palestine Pioneers (Siegbert Leo Adler, Bernard Aschheim, Robert Jozef Dürheim, Lilli Kellner, Fabian Schön, Jossel Waldmann en Esra Jurovics). They were caught at the Belgian border.
