23. Anne Frank’s Father Survived Auschwitz Only to Lose His Wife and Children
As was the typical procedure throughout the Holocaust, Otto Frank was separated from the female members of his family for separate transport to concentration camps. After his camp was liberated by the British, he received word of his wife’s death by starvation while en route to check on his daughters. He arrived at Bergen-Belsen only to learn that both of his daughters had died weeks before the British liberated the camp.
