Hans Angress

Who is Hans Angress?

Hans Angress, 79 (one year older than Anne would have been), is seen here perusing a book featuring Anne's photos before speaking to about 300 American high school students. He used to be a schoolmate of Anne's at the Jewish Lyceum, and currently lives in northern California. He remembered Anne as a clumsy volleyball player. Volleyball was one of the few things Jews were still allowed to do in public after the anti-Jewish decrees were imposed. He told the students what those times were like for young teens and how he survived in hiding.
