Margot Frank attended the Municipal Lyceum for Girls (also known as Girls' Lyceum) for three years until she was forced to leave school in September 1941 as a result of anti-Jewish measures. She then went to the Jewish Lyceum.[1] About fifty Jewish students were forced to leave the Girls' Lyceum; many of them subsequently perished in the concentration camps.[2]
The building now houses the Joke Smit College for adult education.[3]
