- Jan Gies was registered at this address from 4 December 1940.
- Miep was registered here from 16 July 1941 to 1 June 1946.
- This was Miep's first address after her foster parents' home. According to her memoir Herinneringen, she lived here unmarried with Jan. They lived here with Henderina Stoppelman-van der Reis. Her husband had gone to England in May 1940, so she rented out rooms.

- On 3 June 1945, Otto Frank arrived at 25 Hunzestraat.
- On 9-10 June 1945, Otto Frank moved with Jan and Miep Gies to Hunzestraat 120, the home of Jan Gies' sister Fenna Gies.
