Branca Philips stayed in hiding with a family in Baarn. A child of the family remembers Branca and her sister spinning wool in one of the bedrooms in the house of his parents. "The sweaters that were made out of this wool were meant to earn their upkeep." Due to treachery Branca and the seven other Jews who stayed in hiding at the same address were arrested by three people from the SD in 1942.
