In mid 1943, she and one of her sisters went into hiding with the Adriani family on Hoefloo in Laren.[4] On 12 April 1944 they were arrested there.[5] Her mother-in-law wrote on 1 May 1944 through the Red Cross to her father-in-law, Arond Stoppelman, in London that: "12 April was the last thing I had. Nothing more to report."[6]
