Sanne Ledermann

Susanne "Sanne" Ledermann (7 October 1928 – 19 November 1943) was a German Jewish girl who was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Sanne was born in Berlin, the younger of two daughters of Franz Ledermann, lawyer and musician, and Ilse Citroën-Ledermann, a pianist.

In 1933, when the Nazi party came to power the Ledermanns, faced with the threat of death because they were Jews, emigrated to Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Barbara emigrated to the United States and later married the Nobel Prize winning biochemist Martin Rodbell.

[6] Sanne Ledermann was one of Anne Frank's closest friends, including Hannah Goslar and Jacqueline van Maarsen.
