Hannah Pick-Goslar

Hannah Elisabeth Pick-Goslar (1928 to 2022) was a German-born Israeli nurse who is best known as a childhood friend of Anne Frank. Born Hanna Elisabeth Goslar in Berlin, she moved with her family to Amsterdam in 1933, where the two girls attended the same Montessori school and later the Jewish Lyceum. She was imprisoned at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she briefly saw Anne Frank again in early 1945, and she and her younger sister were the only members of their family to survive the war after being rescued from the so-called Lost Train. Both sisters emigrated to Israel, where Hannah worked as a nurse for children. In later life she shared her memories as an eyewitness of the Holocaust. Her place in this atlas rests on her working life as a children's nurse in Israel, set against the wartime experience that shaped her.
