Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank, dies aged 96

Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank, has died at the age of 96. Schloss devoted her life to educating people about the dangers of prejudice and intolerance, co-founding the Anne Frank Trust in the United Kingdom and serving as its honorary president. She spoke widely in schools, prisons, and on international platforms, sharing her experiences and advocating for remembrance, understanding, and peace.

King Charles paid tribute to Schloss, recalling their meeting and expressing deep admiration for her resilience and commitment to promoting kindness and courage. Schloss survived Auschwitz after being betrayed and arrested with her family, losing her father and brother in the concentration camp. Her legacy continues through her books, films, and educational resources.

Her family described her as a remarkable woman, devoted Holocaust educator, and tireless advocate for remembrance. They expressed pride in her accomplishments and asked for privacy during their time of grief, with plans for a memorial event to be announced later.
