Person
Mary Bos was a classmate of Anne Frank at the Sixth Montessori School.[1] She was the daughter of the well-known billiards player (multiple times champion) Arie Bos, who had met his wife (an American billiards champion) during a match in the United States.[2]
A few months before the German invasion, the family emigrated permanently to the USA. It was not easy, because her brother and her mother were American citizens, but she and her father were not.[3]
She is in Anne Frank's tenth-birthday photo taken at Merwedeplein,[4] together with Anne Frank, Hanneli Goslar, Sanne Ledermann, Juultje Ketellapper, Käthe Egyedi, Ietje Swillens, Lucie van Dijk and Martha van de Berg.[5] Anne wrote in her diary on January 6th 1944 that she had dreamed about Mary.[6]
