17. Edit Frank Died Just Weeks Before The Camp’s Liberation
Every member of the Frank family went to Auschwitz. While they couldn’t always communicate, they stayed together as much as possible. Eventually, the Nazis separated Otto from his wife and daughters. While the rest of the family stayed together, they were all deteriorating rapidly. In October of 1944, Margot and Anne traveled to Bergen-Belsen.
Because of Edith’s declining health, the Nazis sent her to Auschwitz-Birkenau. With a 106-degree fever and believing her daughters died, Edith passed away on January 6, 1945. The camp received liberation three weeks later.
