Searching for someone in Holland

This isn't actually family-related, as such, but it is connected to my family history...
My grandfather helped a family in Holland during the war (so the family tells). I inherited his photographs when he and my nan passed away, and in the collection found two photographs of the family. On the back of one photograph, it reads:
J.E.KORT. __ H.KORT-RUST
ZEERYP C59
GRONINGEN.
HOLLAND.

I would love to find anyone left from this family, perhaps get to know more about what my grandfather did for them... any ideas of how I can even start? I don't speak Dutch, and am pretty dumb at using the computer too.
Anyone here have any connection to this name?
Anything at all would be a great help.
Thank You

Sheleen.
