"content_nl": "<p>Peter van Pels werd geboren op <strong>8 november 1926 </strong>in Osnabrück (Duitsland).<sup data-footnote-id=\"jkwnd\"><a href=\"#footnote-1\" id=\"footnote-marker-1-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[1]</a></sup> Zijn ouders waren Hermann van Pels en Auguste van Pels-Röttgen. Hij was enig kind. Hij groeide op in Osnabrück en kwam in <strong>1937</strong> met zijn ouders naar Amsterdam.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Er is weinig bekend over welke scholen Peter in Nederland bezocht. Volgens een oud-klasgenoot zat hij op de MULO in Diezestraat. Het is waarschijnlijk na de segregatie van het onderwijs dat Peter een technische beroepsopleiding ging volgen. Hij leerde onder meer meubels bekleden. In het kamp Mauthausen zou hij later dan ook geregistreerd worden als meubelmaker.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In tegenstelling tot Anne, die Moortje bij de buren onderbracht, nam Peter zijn kat Mouschi mee naar het Achterhuis. Hij deed in het Achterhuis de meeste timmerklusjes, en hij sjouwde de aardappelen naar boven. Volgens Anne wou Peter na de oorlog naar Indonesië om daar op de plantages te leven. Wat er over Peter uit deze periode bekend is, komt voornamelijk uit het dagboek van Anne. Alleen Otto Frank en Miep Gies hebben in later jaren hier nog iets over gezegd.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Na de arrestatie op <strong>4 augustus 1944</strong> kwam Peter via Westerbork in Auschwitz terecht. Hij ontmoette hier Max Stoppelman, de zoon van Jan en Mieps hospita. Stoppelman nam Peter onder zijn hoede. Volgens Otto Frank was Peter er getuige van dat zijn vader na een tussentijdse selectie werd afgevoerd om ter dood te worden gebracht. In <strong>januari 1945</strong> ontruimden de Duitsers het kamp. Otto Frank drong er bij Peter op aan dat hij zich verborg, en niet met de evacuatie, later betiteld als ‘dodenmarsen’, meeging. Peter vertrok toch, en kwam op <strong>25 januari</strong> in Mauthausen aan. Hij verrichtte nog werk, onder meer in <em>Aussenlager Melk</em>, alvorens in het <em>Sanitätslager</em> van het hoofdkamp terecht te komen. Er bestaat wat onduidelijkheid over de precieze overlijdensdatum van Peter. Een lijst die de Amerikanen bij de bevrijding van het kamp opstelden houdt het op <strong>5 mei 1945. </strong>Volgens een andere lijst opgemaakt na de bevrijding van Mauthausen is Peter van Pels overleden op <strong>10 mei 1945</strong>.
