Sanne Ledermann

Sanne Ledermann was a friend of Anne Frank.

Sanne Lederman[1] was a friend of Anne Frank.[2] They lived in the same neighbourhood and their parents were friends. Sanne and het older sister Barbara both went to the Jeker School.[3]

There are various photos showing Sanne and Anne together in the street. In one of them they are standing with Eva Goldberg. Like Anne, Sanne wrote a German verse in Eva's poetry scrapbook on 29 January 1939 .[4]  

In her story "A Maths Lesson", Anne describes how she got detention-work three times from Keesing the maths teacher because she talked too much in class. Sanne helped her the third time to write a composition in rhyme. The first sentence was: "Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterback".[5]

In 1941, Sanne was enrolled at the HBS secondary school at P.L. Takstraat 34, where she was to start in the first year after the summer holidays. Her older sister Barbara was already attending this school.[6] Because Jewish students and teachers were forbidden to attend regular schools as of 1 September 1941, Sanne had to transfer to the Jewish HBS-A at Mauritskade 24.[7] In the school year 1941-'42 she was in class 1A[7] and in 1942-'43 she was in class 2A.[8]
