Mr. Dussel is a dentist who joins the group five months after the rest go into hiding and shares a room with Anne. He is an older man who has never married, although he has a longstanding relationship with a Catholic woman whom he misses a great deal. When Mr. Dussel goes into hiding, the woman is informed that he has fled the country, so she doesn't realize that he is still in Amsterdam until the raid on the hiding place. Mr. Dussel is described by Frank as a demanding, unsympathetic, inconsiderate, and fussy person who prefers to be left alone.
