Bettina Holländer
Bettina Holländer was an older sister of Edith Frank.
Bettina (Betti) Holländer was the third child of Abraham Holländer and Rosa Holländer-Stern and an older sister of Edith Frank. Like her older brothers and younger sister, Betti first attended the Jüdische Volksschule in Aachen.[1] She then attended ten classes at the Lyceum of the Evangelical Viktoriaschule, which she left in 1914.[2]
On 22 September 1914, Betti died after a short illness at the age of 16 at the Franziskushospital[3] at Lütticherstrasse 110.[4] Her cousin Selma Hartog wrote to Otto Frank in 1958 that in her opinion Bettina was also a victim of the First World War, because the hospital was only prepared to admit her under extreme pressure from the family doctor. But by then it was already too late.[5] This letter does not say the illness or disease of which Bettina died. It is possible that her death was caused by appendicitis.[6]
