Today the Anne Frank House and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum present their report of their research into the attempts of Otto Frank, Anne’s father, to emigrate to the United States. Bureaucracy, war and time thwarted Otto’s emigration attempts, as well as those of many other Jews.Documents“I am forced to look out for emigration and as far as I can see the USA is the only country we could go to.” Otto Frank wrote this on 30 April 1941 to his good American friend Nathan Strauss in New York. Otto Frank had been working on his plans to emigrate to the United States since 1938. The immigration visa application, with all the necessary documents, had to be submitted to the American consulate in Rotterdam. In the Netherlands, only the Rotterdam consulate issued immigration visas. The consulate was destroyed during the bombardment of Rotterdam on 14 May 1940. That led to a laborious reconstruction of the waiting list, and all applications - including Otto Frank’s - had to be resubmitted.
