Theodor Metz's first address in The Hague was Assendelftstraat 20.[1] At that time it was the hotel-guest house Aurora.[2] Three months later they moved to Daendelsstraat 1e in Bezuidenhout.[1] Number 1c housed the Dutch Chamber of Commerce for Germany,[3] of which Metz was the official secretary.[4] On 12 May 1937, the family moved to Laan van Poot 288.[1] In Frankfurt Metz was already supervisory director of a company in which Jo Kleiman and relatives of Otto Frank also participated. Metz held this position in the Netherlands for a few months, until Otto Frank took over in December 1933.[5]
