Margot Frank attended the Varrentrappschule from 22 March 1933 on. When she left there is not clearly indicated in the sources.[1] The Varrentrappschule was one of the two larger public schools in Frankfurt am Main in the 1930s.[2]
In the period that Margot was a pupil at this school, a Gesetz gegen die Überfüllung deutscher Schulen und Hochschulen was introduced on 25 April 1933. This law imposed restrictions on the percentage of non-Aryan pupils, among other things.[3] At that time, this new law did not yet have direct consequences for primary school children in Frankfurt. In June 1933, the municipal education board informed mayor Krebs that as a result of the Prussian law, the six hundred and sixty-two Jewish pupils in the city could stay in their schools.[4]
