What happened to them? August 4, 1944: the secret annex is discovered and everyone is arrested. Every man and woman receives a number, which is tattooed on his or her arm. Their heads are completely shaven. They receive prison-camp clothes, because they are not allowed to keep their own clothes. The men are placed in one part of the camp (the main camp, A.K.A. “Auschwitz I”), the women in another (Auschwitz-Birkenau, A.K.A. “Auschwitz II”).

The men Otto Frank Fritz Pfeffer (Mr. Dussel) Hermann van Pels (Mr. Van Daan) Peter van Pels (Peter Van Daan) They stay together, mostly digging heavy trenches (difficult physical labor). Peter, luckily, gets assigned to work in the camp post office.

Hermann van Pels Several weeks after arriving, he is exhausted, unable to work, and murdered in a gas chamber. R.I.P. late August/early September 1944

Fritz Pfeffer Deported to a different camp (Neuengamme) in October The combination of heavy labor, lack of food, and poor sanitary conditions likely lead him to get sick. He died in the sick barracks. R.I.P. December 20, 1944

Peter van Pels Nazis evacuate camp. Since he is still able to walk, he must go with them. Arrives at another camp (Mauthausen, in Austria) at the end of January. Likely dies from exhaustion. R.I.P. April 11-May 5, 1945

Otto Frank Russian army liberates Auschwitz on January 27, Otto is one of 7,650 survivors. He weighs less than 115 lbs. (He weighed over 150 lbs while hiding in the annex).

The women The Frank girls are able to stay together in the same barrack. Auguste van Pels is sent to a different part of camp. Like the men, the women are subjected to hard physical labor and they are expected to be outside for hours in all kinds of weather.

Edith Frank In winter 1944, the Russian army is starting to liberate camps, so the Nazis start taking healthy workers back to Germany with them. Edith is too weak and, therefore, left behind. She falls ill and dies at Auschwitz. R.I.P. January 6, 1945

Margot & Anne Frank They ARE chosen (unlike their mother) to flee with the Nazis. They are crammed onto a crowded train (for three days!) and taken to Bergen-Belsen (another camp). Camp is way over-crowded, so they are placed in tents. Days later, storms destroy their tent. They must squeeze into the over-crowded barracks. In winter , there is little to no food and terrible sanitary conditions. Both sisters come down with typhus. They die within a day of one another, weeks before the camp is liberated. R.I.P. February/March 1945

Auguste van Pels At the end of Nov 1944, she arrives at Bergen-Belsen and is temporarily reunited with Margot and Anne She is sent to two more camps after that. At some point during this journey, witnesses say she was murdered by Nazi officers (pushed onto train tracks). R.I.P. April-May 1945
