At Bergen-Belsen, Anne finds her old best friend.
In The Diary of Anne Frank, the name "Lies Goosens" appears a number of times.
Otto Frank, changed the names of the people in the diary when it was first published.
Lies Goosens is the name he chose for one of Anne's closest childhood friends, Hanneli Goslar
“It was Anne, and I ran in the direction of the voice, and then I saw her beyond the barbed wire. She was in rags. I saw her emaciated, sunken face in the darkness. Her eyes were very large.
We cried and cried for now there was only the bared wire between us, nothing more. And no longer any difference in our fates.”
-Lies
