Jacqueline Yvonne Meta van Maarsen (nl; 30 January 1929 – 13 February 2025) was a Dutch author and bookbinder. She was best known for her friendship with diarist Anne Frank. Her Christian mother was able to remove the J (Jew) signs from the family's identity cards during the Second World War which helped the van Maarsens escape the Nazis.[1][2]
After the war, Van Maarsen found out how Anne Frank had not survived. Otto Frank, Anne's father, talked with Van Maarsen, and she was one of the first people to whom Otto Frank showed Anne's diary. In 1947, The Diary of a Young Girl was published.[3]
Van Maarsen died in Amsterdam on 13 February 2025, at the age of 96.[4][5]
