From 16 July 1941 to 1 June 1946, Hermine ('Miep') Santrouschitz was registered at Hunzestraat 25hs, Amsterdam.[1] This was Miep's first address after the foster parents' home. According to her Herinneringen, she lived here unmarried together with Jan Gies.[2] They lived here with Henderina Stoppelman-van der Reis.[3] Her husband had gone to England in May 1940, so she rented out rooms. [4] Otto Frank had pointed out the advertisement to them looking for tenants for these furnished rooms.[5]

Jan Gies had been registered at this address since 4 December 1940.[6] Mrs Stoppelman corresponded with her husband in London through the Red Cross. From 6 September 1942, she wrote as sender next to her name: "c/o J. Gies, Hunzestraat No 25 house".[7] On 4 September 1943, Max Stoppelman wrote to his father in London: "Address parcels to Gies, otherwise they will be lost."[8] On 1 July 1943, Mrs Stoppelman wrote to her husband with "Mrs J. Gies vd Reis" as the sender .[9]

Mrs Stoppelman also went into hiding during 1942. A son of the family where she stayed was a student and in turn went into hiding with Jan and Miep in Hunzestraat around October-November 1942.[10]
