21. Despite The Rumors, Edith and Anne Frank Had A Great Relationship
It is well-known that Otto edited out parts of Anne’s diary at first. He didn’t like the way Anne portrayed her mother. Even though Otto and Edith sometimes had a rocky relationship, Edith adored her daughters, and Anne loved her mother.
Anne became a typical teenager while the family hid in the secret annex. She struggled to find her alone time and didn’t always get along with her mother. However, witnesses who knew the family in Auschwitz stated that Edith and Anne showed a loving and healthy relationship. Edith even gave Anne her food to try to keep her alive.
