Mr. Pfeffer was sent to gas chamber. Women and men were separated.
Anne and Margot left Auschwitz and were sent to Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany.
Anne and Margot died of disease in March 1945. They were buried in a mass grave. April 15,
1945 their camp was liberated and saved. If they would have lived a few more weeks, they
probably would have survived the Holocaust.
Otto was the only person from the annex to survive the holocaust – He was given Anne’s diary
and papers from Miep upon returning to his office.
