Eva Schloss, Anne Frank’s Stepsister and Auschwitz Survivor, Dies at 96

King Charles III led tributes to Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss, who has died at age 96. The monarch said he was “privileged and proud” to have known her. Schloss was born in Austria. She fled with her family to the Netherlands after the Nazi takeover. There, she became a childhood friend of diarist Anne Frank. Both families later went into hiding from Nazi persecution. They were discovered and sent to concentration camps in 1944. Only Eva and her mother survived. Anne Frank died in Bergen-Belsen. After the war, Eva’s mother married Anne Frank’s father, Otto. Schloss then dedicated her life to sharing her story and promoting Holocaust education.
