The dentist Anne Frank writes about was very probably Pieter Volders.[1] His practice was located at Keizersgracht 186.[2] During the Franks' period in hiding, Pieter Volders was working out of this address, given the various announcements in the papers regarding the locum tenancy of his practice. On 31 July 1944, he went on holiday, just as he did the year before.[3]
