Tineke van Willigen Gatsonides

Tineke der Willigen Gatsonides was a classmate of Margot Frank at the Gemeentelijk Lyceum voor Meisjes (Municipal Lyceum for Girls).

Tineke was at the Municipal Lyceum for Girls in the class of Margot Frank, Barbara Ledermann and others. She came from the Roemer Visscherschool.[1] From about 1935, the Roemer Visscherschool was also home to 'Mehler's Class'.

After her move she kept in touch with Barbara Ledermann. During the holidays she sometimes stayed in Deventer. In the summer of 1941 they cycled together from Deventer to Beekbergen, where Barbara's sister Sanne was staying with an aunt and uncle. Anne Frank was there too.[2] During that holiday several pictures were taken. On two of them you can see Tineke, together with, among others, Anne, Sanne and Barbara.[3]

Tineke passed away in 2012
