Ruth Judith Goslar - Klee was the mother of Anne Frank's friend Hanneli Goslar and a friend of Edith Frank.[1] She married Hans Goslar in Berlin on 3 April 1926. She had two daughters, Hanneli and Gabi.[2]

In 1933 she and her family fled to the Netherlands and ended up living at Merwedeplein 31-1 in early 1934. It was there that the Goslar family became friends with the Frank family.[3] Her daughter Hanneli recalled: They were just like sisters, my mother and Mrs Frank.[4]

On 25 June 1938 her ‘deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit’ was revoked.[5]

On 26 July 1938 she received from the municipality of Amsterdam a statement of good behaviour, which had been applied for in connection with plans to emigrate.[6] The destination was not listed. 

In the morning of 26 October 1942 she gave birth to a child that was registered as 'still born'. On 27 October, at eight o'lock in the evening, she passed away.[7]
