How might a Jewish child (other than the famous Anne Frank) have been hidden during Nazi occupation of the Netherlands? And what might that have been like?

I've read some interesting material on this suggesting that there was enough organization and foresight to make an attempt to hide children, which often meant separating them from their parents. I came across a couple of survivor stories where children were literally handed over to strangers on street corners. Some stories suggest that children who could pass as non-Jews might be hidden "in plain sight" with different families, or in various religious institutions. I'm particularly interested in how this might have happened in the Netherlands, but there seems to be a glut of information about Anne Frank and her family, which makes it difficult to find other stories or information. Can anyone comment on this and/or recommend could sources of information?

Johanna Reiss' The Upstairs Room is a firsthand account of being a Jewish child in the Netherlands who was hidden during the war. She goes into quite a lot of detail about the process and experience so I think it might be quite helpful to you even though it's written at about a middle-school reading level.
