    Peter was the only boy in the Secret Annex. Peter was the son of Hermann and Auguste van Pels. The family was Jewish and lived in Osnabrück. In 1937, Peter's parents decided to leave because of the Nazis' antisemitism. The family moved to Amsterdam. Rather soft, shy, gawky youth; can't expect much from his company.
