A Jewish Boy Survives in Hiding: Not Far from Anne Frank's Annex

Leo Ullman survived the Holocaust in hiding with strangers as a toddler—in Amsterdam, the same city where Anne Frank hid and was later discovered. His parents were told nothing about his caretakers or his location in order to help keep him safe.

Only after the war did Leo realize that the loving couple who had raised him for years were not his biological parents. He later learned just how many of the Dutch families nearby knew about the young Jewish boy in hiding and chose to protect him.

Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) experts as they explore the story of Leo Ullman on June 12th, Anne Frank's birthday.
