Auschwitz survivor and Anne Frank's stepsister Eva Schloss dies at 96

Eva Schloss, Auschwitz survivor and stepsister to Anne Frank, has died at the age of 96 in London. Born in Vienna in 1929, Eva fled the Nazis with her family, eventually settling in Amsterdam near the Frank family. After years in hiding, Eva and her family were betrayed and deported to Auschwitz, where only she and her mother survived.

Following the war, Eva became the stepdaughter of Otto Frank and later moved to London, where she dedicated her life to Holocaust education and the fight against racism and intolerance. For decades, she spoke at schools and institutions worldwide, sharing her story to ensure the horrors of the past would not be forgotten. Her efforts were recognized with numerous honors, including an honorary doctorate and the restoration of her Austrian citizenship.

King Charles paid tribute to Eva, calling her a courageous and resilient woman whose memory will remain a blessing. Eva is survived by her daughters, grandchildren, and extended family.
