During her life, Bep Voskuijl lived at the following addresses in Amsterdam (with the exception of the two years she lived in Hilversum):

  • Reinwardtstraat 50-III, 5 July 1919 (birth) to 21 March 1921.
  • Von Zesenstraat 88-hs, 21 March 1921 to 4 March 1924.
  • Gladiolusstraat 14, Hilversum, 4 March 1924 to 2 July 1926.
  • Solostraat 10-III, 2 July 1926 to 16 December 1930.
  • Fraunhoferstraat 34 boven, from 16 December 1930.[1]
  • Lumeystraat 18-II, 12 May 1933 to 23 July 1941.
  • Da Costakade 77-I, 23 July 1941 to 6 May 1943.
  • Lumeystraat 18-II, 6 May 1943 to 27 November 1944.
  • Lumeystraat 18-II, 27 November 1944 to 15 May 1946.
  • Marco Polostraat 228-IV, 15 May 1946 (marriage) until 12 June 1948.
  • Lumeystraat 18-I, 12 June 1948 to 13 January 1949.
  • Galileïplantsoen 119-hs, 13 January 1949 to 6 May 1983 (death).[2]

Bep's aunt Alida C. Sodenkamp lived at the address Da Costakade 77-I. She moved to Eindhoven on 15 April 1943.[3] Bep had probably moved back to Lumeystraat by then. If these registration dates are correct, Bep did not live at home during the first ten months of the hiding period.

In the summer of 1942, Da Costakade was renamed Goeverneurkade. This change was also noted on Bep's personal card (PB).[4]

These are the addresses as they appear from official records. According to her son Ton van Wijk, Bep did not return to her own home after the raid on the Secret Annex on 4 August 1944, but hid in the parental home of Cor van Wijk (her later husband). Cor himself was then in Osterode in the Harz region. It is not clear why and how she came to be at that address.[5]
