Hunzestraat 120-hs

Amsterdam

On 9 and 10 June 1945, Otto Frank noted in his diary "Move Hunze 120" and "House move".[1] At this address lived Fenna Gies, an older sister of Jan Gies. Jan and Miep also moved into Fenna's small home.[2] In August 1945, Otto wrote to his brothers-in-law Walter and Julius Holländer that they were looking for another home.[3]

Miep Gies, like Jan, was registered from 1 June 1946 to 21 November 1946 at Hunzestraat 120hs,[4] but they had most likely lived here since mid-June 1945.

The population register registered Otto at number 120 as of 18 September 1945.[5] In December 1945, he wrote to Jetteke Frijda (a former classmate of Margot Frank at the Municipal Lyceum for Girls): "I live with very dear friends and have an excellent time in every respect as far as care is concerned. We form a sort of family and I am really spoilt." [6]

On 12 November 1946, Otto was transferred in the Population Register to Jekerstraat 65-II.[5] In his diary he noted "Jekerstraat" on 15, 16 and 17 November .[7]
