For Anne and Margot the years in Frankfurt are happy ones. They have lots of friends in the neighbourhood. They adore their grandmother Frank, who also lives in Frankfurt. She is a good storyteller. Grandmother Holländer lives in Aachen, near the Dutch border. Neither of their grandfathers is still alive. Margot goes to a nursery school in Frankfurt, and later to primary school. Twice a week she has lessons in the Jewish religion. Anne is still too young. She will only start school later, in the Netherlands.
