    Julius en Walter Holländer kregen op 13 november 1944 het Amerikaanse staatsburgerschap. Ze sloegen zich er ook na het eind van de oorlog doorheen als slechtbetaalde fabrieksarbeiders en leefden in uiterst bescheiden omstandigheden in Leominster in de buurt van Boston. Toen zij het verschrikkelijke bericht kregen, dat hun zuster Edith Holländer en diens beide kinderen Margot en Anne Frank waren overleden, waren Julius en Walter Holländer erg geschokt. Dat hun naaste familie was vermoord, konden ze maar moeilijk verwerken. Ze trokken zich terug uit het openbare leven en met hun gezondheid ging het slecht. In 1963 verhuisden de broers naar New York. Julius verongelukte daar op 4 oktober 1967 bij een val in een liftschacht. Walter Holländer overleed op 19 september 1968 in New York. De beide broers lieten, zoals het verhaal onder hun familieleden gaat, hun spaargeld van 250.000 dollar na aan de staat Israël.

    Holländer, Walter (6 Feb 1897 - 19 Sept 1968). Wartime Locations: Germany, Netherlands, USA (Leominster, MA). Anne's uncle, Edith Frank's brother. He was born in Aachen (three years older than Edith). He and Julius ran the family business, but were arrested in the November 1938 raids, in Aachen. Walter was released but Julius was taken to Sachsenhausen. He was allowed to leave the country about three weeks later because he had gained admittance to Holland (via his relations, the Franks). However, he had to stay in a quarantine camp there, paying all expenses. He could only leave after about a year, leaving for the USA to join Julius. Walter's boss agreed to sign an affidavit for Anne's family, but it was too late to be any use. He and his brother became American citizens in 1944. Walter died on 19 Sept 1968, in New York. See Julius's entry for some more info. There is a photo of Walter and information at the Anne Frank Guide (USA). (AFM p. 52-55; AFB p. 81-4, 86, 110-1, 285-8)
