Life

Jewish high school in Amsterdam attended by Anne Frank and Hannah Goslar

Hans Goslar , the father of Hannah Pick-Goslar, was head of the press office in the Prussian State Ministry. Her younger sister is Rachel Gabriele Mozes-Goslar (* 1940). After the seizure of power by the Nazis, the family emigrated to Amsterdam. There she met Anne Frank and went to school with her. As "Anne, Hanne and Sanne", she formed a close trio of friends with Anne Frank and Sanne Ledermann from 1934 onwards.

In June 1943, "Hanneli", as she is called by Anne in her diary , was removed from the Gestapo together with her father (the mother had died in childbirth in October 1942 when her third child was stillborn), her grandparents and her younger sister Gabi arrested and deported to Bergen-Belsen . There she met her childhood friend again in March 1945 shortly before her death. Hannah was crammed into the Lost Train with others at the beginning of April 1945 and finally survived the Holocaust after a 13-day wandering through Germany with her sister (next to Hannah the only survivor of the family) .

Pick-Goslar supports the initiative “Signs against Racism and Anti-Semitism” by planting an Anne Frank memorial tree in Uedelhoven . She is a contemporary witness in the HEIMATSUCHER association.

She married Walter Pinchas Pick, has three children and ten grandchildren. She lives in Jerusalem.
