Clara van Pels registered in Aerdenhout
Clara was a sister of Hermann van Pels and came to the Netherlands in September 1938.
Initially, she lived in Aerdenhout. She had her lodgings with Alfred Leonhard Tietz, former board member of the German department store of the same name.[1] Tietz had had to give up his position after the German take-over and the subsequent boycot measures.[2] After their arrival in the Netherlands, Tietz and his wife were active in helping Jewish refugees.[3]
Clara's daughter Trude lived with her aunt Henny in Amsterdam during that time.[4] A year and a half later, Clara moved to Minervalaan 49-I in Amsterdam, where by now Henny and Trude were also living. After her marriage to Günther Neumann, she went to live with him and her daughter at Schubertstraat 46-hs in September 1941.[5]
