26. Otto Frank Remarried In 1953 To A Family Friend
Like many other people, Otto lost his family in the concentration camps. Starting life after living in the camp is something that Otto struggled with. Fortunately, he met an old family friend and neighbor, Elfriede (Fritzi) Markovits, in 1953.
The couple became closer after World War Two because they understood the loss and life they lived. Elfriede and her daughter, the same age as Anne, received liberation from their Russian concentration camp in 1945. However, Elfriede lost her husband and son during the war. Once married, Eva officially became a stepdaughter to Otto and stepsister to Anne and Margot.
