9. The Franks Were Deported On the Last Transport From Westerbork to Auschwitz
Being caught in late 1945, the Nazi forces were beginning to tire and face the real threat of defeat by Allied forces. The admittance to camps was slowing down, and some camps were even being evacuated with forced death marches. The Franks were transported out of transit camp Westerbork on the last trip to Auschwitz, one of the deadliest concentration camps of the Holocaust. Anne and Margot, as well as Peter van Pels, died only weeks before British forces liberated their camps.
