Miep Lobatto came from a Portuguese Jewish family that lived in Amsterdam South. She was a classmate of Anne Frank at the Jewish Lyceum.[1] In 2001, she wrote an epilogue to Absent, Dienke Hondius' book about the Jewish Lyceum in Amsterdam.[2]

Like her brother Jaap, she went into hiding in 1943. In the first period of her hiding, she was housed at addresses in Heiloo, Alkmaar and Bergen, but in the course of 1944 the then 15-year-old Miep ended up in the southern part of the Netherlands, first in Maastricht and later in Breda, where she witnessed the liberation on 29 October 1944.[3]
