Names of Fritz Pfeffer

Variations of Fritz Pfeffer's names.

Subject

A correction to Frtiz Pfeffer's entry in the Amsterdam population register suggests that his real name was Friedrich Pfeffer.[1] However, later correspondence, including official documents relating to his stay in the Netherlands, consistently refer to him as 'Fritz '.[2]

When Anne Frank wrote the second version (the B version) of her diary, she wrote a list of the names she wanted to give the people in a book to be published later. She gave Fritz Pfeffer the name Albert Dussel.[3] In the first edition of the diary, that remained Albert Dussel.[4]
