Instituut voor Gymnastiek, Rhytmiek en Massage (Instituut voor Gymnastiek, Rhytmiek en Massage (Institute for remedial gymnastics, rhythmic sports and massage)
Institute for remedial gymnastics, sports, massage, etc.
Located at Noorder Amstellaan 136 in Amsterdam.[1] The Institute was under the management of S. de Vries and J. de Vries-Leefsma,[2] and also provided massage training.[3]
Anne Frank mistook this institute for a sports club, according to her diary entry of 6 October 1942.[4] It is possible that Anne went there because of her joint problems.[5] However, there are no concrete indications of this.
