Status onduidelijk

Max van Pels was an older brother of Hermann van Pels. He had Dutch nationality and therefore had military service obligations in the Netherlands. On 3 June 1914, he underwent an examination. Because of a fracture, the military authorities declared him unfit.[1]

As co-owner of the firm Van Pels & Wolff in Hamburg, he sold his shares to his 'Aryan' business partner in early 1938. In 1952 he stated that this had happened of his own free will and that the business partner had also taken personal risks to help Van Pels to secure his property.[2]

In March 1938, Max van Pels moved to Amsterdam. The population register listed his occupation as 'merchant in chemicals and drying kiln articles'.[3]

On 16 June 1938, he and his wife received certificates of good conduct in connection with emigration to North America[4] and on 27 August they left on board the S.S. Samaria from Liverpool. The ship arrived in New York on 5 September 1938.[5] After the war, he and his — deceased — brother Hermann had a joint claim of NLG 362.33 against Treuhand A.G.[6]
