Janny Brandes-Brilleslijper

Marianne Brandes-Brilleslijper (24 October 1916 – 15 August 2003), known as Janny, was a Dutch Holocaust survivor and one of the last people to see Anne Frank alive. She is the sister of singer Lin Jaldati (born Rebekka Brilleslijper; 1912–1988). Both Brandes-Brilleslijper and Jaldati (nicknamed "Lientje") were in the Westerbork, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps with Anne and her older sister Margot.

Life Brandes-Brilleslijper was born Marianne Brilleslijper in Amsterdam on 24 October 1916, the middle of three children of Fijtje (née Gerritse) and Joseph Brilleslijper. They were listed as "criminals" and had to work in the work barracks, where Janny and Lientje met and befriended Anne and Margot.

From Westerbork, Janny, Lientje and the Franks were transported to Auschwitz. Janny and Lientje were later sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where Anne and Margot were also transported in October 1944. Janny, who was made a nurse in the camp, took care of the ill prisoners. She returned to Amsterdam, where she grew up. She is buried at Zorgvlied cemetery.
