A newborn Leo Ullman with his mother, Emily Ullman, before he was placed into hiding. USHMM, gift of Leo S. Ullman
Leo Ullman survived the Holocaust in hiding with strangers as a toddler—in Amsterdam, the same city where Anne Frank hid and was later discovered. His parents were told nothing about his caretakers or his location in order to help keep him safe. Only after the war did Leo realize that the loving couple who had raised him for years were not his biological parents.
Join us to hear Leo share his memories of living as a hidden child with Kyra Schuster, who acquires original material for the Museum’s unparalleled collection of Holocaust evidence. Following the program, you may opt to explore Anne Frank: The Exhibition, featuring a full-scale recreation of the Annex where the Franks spent two years in hiding to evade Nazi capture.
