AP: Dutch Holocaust survivor Berthe Meijer, whose life intersected with Anne Frank’s, dies at 74
Before the war, Meijer lived on the same Amsterdam street in a Jewish neighbourhood where Frank attended a Montessori school. Their families both attempted to hide during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, but were caught and deported. They were imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen at the same time, though Meijer was years younger.
