Bora Delden
Bora Delden was the sister of Stella Delden, the daughter-in-law of Mrs Stoppelman, the landlady of Jan and Miep Gies.
Debora (Bora) Delden was the sister of Stella Stoppelman-Delden,[1] the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Stoppelman (landlady of Jan and Miep Gies). She was a costume seamstress.[2] Together with her sister and brother-in-law Stoppelman, she went into hiding in Laren. According to her brother-in-law, during a conflict between the person who took them into hiding and her son, she sided with the mother.[3]
They were arrested on 12 April 1944.[3] In Westerbork she also found her brother and younger sister. The family went together on a transport.[4] Otto Frank noted "Borah Delden" in his notebook on 12 March 1945.[5] Debora Delden died on board the Monowai and was buried in Marseille.[6] She therefore made the same return journey — until Marseille — as Otto Frank.
