I visited the Anne Frank house when I visited Amsterdam last week. I saw there the letter received by Margot Frank from the Nazis calling her up. IIRC it was from a Hauptsturmführer who was head of the Nazis in Amsterdam or the Netherlands. Does anybody know the name of this Hauptsturmführer? Would make a good addition to this article. chowells 00:31, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

The letter is here [1] but unforunately it's too low resolution and has too many JPEG artifacts to read :( chowells 03:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I did a little digging, and I think the name is Karl Worlein.

• Thanks. I thought that the letter said "Worlein" and googling for "Karl Worlein" brings up two hits and both say he's an SS member so that sounds pretty plausible. I created an article on Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung which is the name of the organisation on the top of the letter. It needs expansion, I did find a pretty good web site about it so I'll get around to translating that some time. chowells 16:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

The letter shown in the link above is an example of the general call-up notice sent to thousands of Jewish people in Amsterdam at that time and not the actual letter which called up Margot Frank. It's shown by the Anne Frank Foundation as an example. The person it was addressed to is shown at the top of the letter. It's difficult to make out the name clearly (Heinrich something) but you can see the address and date of birth quite clearly. --Yallery Brown 13:39, 27 October 2005

• Whoops! How did I miss out that crucial fact! Thanks for pointing that out. chowells 16:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

Has the name of Margot's aunt been vandalized? The change took place many, many edits ago and has remained since then. User:PurpleChez 6 May 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.24.1.102 (talk) 13:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
