Merwedeplein 3
Home of Ruth Offenstadt and her daughter Hannah Toby, with whom Anne Frank and her friends sometimes played. Ruth Offenstadt took two photos of this.
Ruth Offenstadt (9 September 1911 – 27 April 2010) was married to Fritz Toby. Their daughter Hannah was born in 1934. After their emigration to the Netherlands they divorced, and in 1937 Ruth went to live with Hannah on Merwedeplein.[1] In Amsterdam she met Max Nussbaum, a young rabbi from Berlin. They married on 7 July 1938 in Amsterdam and moved to Berlin. They fled to the United States in 1940.[2]
