Description
Eva Schloss and Anne Frank had been childhood friends and neighbours in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Eva remembers Anne’s nickname was ‘Miss Quack Quack’ because she always loved talking. Then, like the Franks, Eva’s 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’s posthumous stepsister when her mother married Otto Frank, Anne’s father. Together they worked tirelessly to promote Anne Frank’s legacy through her diary.
Eva shares her extraordinary Holocaust testimony over two episodes. In this part one episode, she describes her life in Amsterdam and how her family were captured. In part two, you can hear about her experience of the liberation of Auschwitz and her efforts to keep her brother Heinz’s memory alive.
