Anne Frank鈥檚 stepsister: How I survived Auschwitz, part 1
Part one of Eva Schloss鈥� extraordinary Holocaust testimony and her childhood memories of Anne Frank
Eva Schloss and Anne Frank had been childhood friends and neighbours in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Eva remembers Anne鈥檚 nickname was 鈥楳iss Quack Quack鈥� because she always loved talking. Then, like the Franks, Eva鈥檚 Jewish family was forced into hiding. Both families were ultimately betrayed and sent to Auschwitz, the most notorious of the Nazi death camps. After the war, Eva became Anne鈥檚 posthumous stepsister when her mother married Otto Frank, Anne鈥檚 father. Together they worked tirelessly to promote Anne Frank鈥檚 legacy through her diary.
Eva shares her extraordinary Holocaust testimony over two episodes. In this first episode, she describes her life before Auschwitz and her family鈥檚 eventual capture. In part two, you can hear about her experience of the liberation of Auschwitz and her efforts to keep her brother Heinz鈥檚 memory alive.
