Julius Holländer was the eldest son of Abraham Holländer and Rosa Holländer-Stern and a brother of Edith Frank-Holländer.[1]

After Otto Frank and his family had moved into their home on Merwedeplein, Walter and his brother Julius reunited their niece Margot with her parents.[2] The fact that he had been injured in World War I saved him from being sent to a concentration camp after his arrest on Kristallnacht.[3] Julius applied for permission to emigrate to the United States in the course of 1938. A required affidavit was issued to him. Because of the threatening situation in Germany, Otto Frank wanted to take him in and look after him while he was waiting for the definitive visa.[4]

On 25 March 1939 he left on the SS Veendam for the United States.[5] He travelled on a visa that was issued on 24 February in Stuttgart.[6] Julius worked in America as a night oven man at Canton Japanning Company that made patent leather.[7] The Holländer brothers could not get over the stresses endured and the loss of family members. Julius wrote to Otto in the summer of 1945: “Our lives are empty now. Edith and the girls was all we had”.[8]

With his brother Walter, he transferred one hundred dollars in 1963 to support the work of the Anne Frank House.[9] In the 1960s, Julius suffered from various ailments and was very nervous. He had a poor diet.[10] Julius died following an accident.[11]
