The family moved to Zoeterwoudsesingel 10 in 1936, where Alice grew up and was known for her beautiful blue eyes and dimples in her cheeks. She actively participated in religious education and did well at school. After forced departure of the Jewish girls from the HBS, Alice went to work as a dental assistant and later as a domestic assistant in the Jewish orphanage in Leiden. On March 17, 1943, Alice was arrested together with the children and employees and brought to Westerbork. On March 26, 1943, she was murdered at the age of 19 with 25 of 'her' children in Sobibor.

After the Kristallnacht, their mother, Clara Adler, decided to flee to America. Lotte, Henny and their girlfriend Edith were put to the Netherlands on a Jewish children's transport. In Leiden they ended up in the Jewish orphanage. Lotte promised her mother that she would always stay with Henny. They went to school and made friends. Lotte felt safe, but the war also came to the Netherlands. Eventually they were arrested and put on transport. Lotte sent a postcard with the words: "We keep ourselves big; I sing while it is crying inside me." Floortje Altenberg comes to Leiden in 1929 and starts working in the Jewish orphanage, where she takes care of the children and also lives internally. The orphanage is moving to Roodenburgerstraat and offers shelter to Jewish children who have become orphans or whose parents cannot take care of them. Floortje is responsible for the daily care and guidance of the children. She creates a loving and healthy environment in the orphanage. With the rise of the Nazis, more and more children from Central and Eastern Europe are being admitted. On March 17, 1943, the orphanage was evacuated and Floortje and the children are taken to Westerbork and later to Sobibór, where they are all murdered.
