Jan Hendrik de Waal Malefijt (31 January 1852, Overveen, North Holland – 14 March 1931, Katwijk) was a Dutch politician.
He first came to prominence in the cabaret duo Globos with Wendy De Waal, and they scored two Australian Top 20 hits with quirky covers of "Tintarella de Luna" (1982) and Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On" (1983), both of which were produced by Red Symons.
The history of the building and the family is described in great detail in "The Hare with Amber Eyes" by Edmund de Waal, whose grandmother - Elisabeth de Waal née Ephrussi, born 1899 - spent her childhood and youth there; De Waal combined first-hand information from her with extensive research in available documents.
