Juultje Ketellapper

Juultje Ketellapper was a classmate of Anne Frank at the Sixth Montessori School.

Juultje (Julie) Ketellapper grew up in the Rivierenbuurt district. She was a few months old when she came to live in Deurloostraat. From August 1932 she went to the Montessori kindergarten in Niersstraat.[1] On 4 September 1934, she started primary school, which she left on 13 July 1940.[2] In the school years 1937-38 and 1938-39 she was in Anne's class.[3] Then she went to the Gemeentelijk Lyceum voor Meisjes (Municipal High School for Girls).[4]

On 12 June 1939, she celebrated Anne's tenth birthday.[5] She was in the photo which was taken on that occasion, together with Anne and seven other girls.[6] Two weeks later, it was her birthday. Her friend Kitty Egyedi gave her a poetry album as a present. Anne Frank, Kitty Egyedi and Hanneli Goslar, among others, wrote verses in it. After 1945 it passed to Kitty Egyedi, who later donated it to the Anne Frank House.[7] Juultje herself wrote a verse in the album of Mary Bos on 5 September 1938.[8]

When the Girls' High School had to provide the names of Jewish pupils because of educational segregation in the summer of 1941, Juultje was supposed to move up to Gymnasium II after the summer holidays.[9] Because Jewish students and teachers were forbidden to attend regular schools as of 1 September 1941, she had to transfer to the Jewish Lyceum. She was in class 2L and the following year in 3L.[10]

In the afternoon of 21 July 1942, her bicycle was stolen from the bicycle parking area of the Jewish High School. She reported it the next morning.[11]

Together with her parents and sister Josine she was arrested, probably during the raid in Zuid on 20 June 1943. On 6 July they were transported to Sobibor, where the whole family was gassed on arrival on 9 July.[12]

Addresses: Holendrechtstraat 45-I, Amsterdam;[13] Deurloostraat 50-I, Amsterdam (October 1928).[13]
