Albert Gomes de Mesquita attended the Sixth Montessori School, just like Anne.[1] The original plan was for him to then move to the Montessori Lyceum.[2] During the war years, he was in hiding for some time with Miss Südfelt, a teacher at the Sixth Montessori School.[3] Around 2007, he wrote an extensive account of his time in hiding, but this has not been published.
