Edith Frank16 January 1900 – 6 January 1945

Edith and her daughters were separated from Otto upon their arrival at Auschwitz and they never saw him again.

On 30 October another selection separated Edith from Anne and Margot. Edith was selected for the gas chamber, and her daughters were transported to Bergen-Belsen.

Edith escaped with a friend to another section of the camp, where she remained through the winter.

While there she hid every scrap of food she could get and saved it for her daughters.

Because she refused to eat any of the food she was saving, she died from starvation in January 1945, 20 before the Red Army liberated the camp.
