Max Sluizer
Max Sluizer was Anne's geography teacher at the Jewish Lyceum.
Max Sluizer first worked as a manager in a clothing factory and later became a teacher.[1] Anne was taught geography by him at the Jewish Lyceum.[2]
Sluizer had married the singer Dora Gerson in 1936.[3] They were arrested with their two children during an escape attempt to Switzerland and murdered in Auschwitz.[4]
Jacques Presser wrote about Sluizer in his book Ondergang. He called him "Mr. S.", a "generally well-liked colleague." When Presser entered the Jewish Lyceum one morning he saw that one of the students there had written "Long live Mr. S.! "on a black board. For it was rumored at the Lyceum that he had ventured the flight to freedom with his family and had arrived safely in Switzerland. A short time later, the true story got through the school..[5]
