How did the van daans die?

Answer 1

Mrs. van Daan's real name was Auguste van Pels.

Both her date and place of death are unknown but witnesses testified that she was with the Frank sisters during part of their time in Bergen-Belsen, but that she was not present when they died in February/March. She is therefore assumed to have been transferred before March 1945, to Buchenwald, then to the Theresienstadt ghetto. She is believed to have died either en route to Theresienstadt, or shortly after her arrival there.

Answer 2

The van Daans, a Jewish family who went into hiding with Anne Frank during World War II, died in concentration camps. Hermann and Auguste van Daan died in Auschwitz in 1944, and their son Peter van Daan died in Mauthausen in 1945.
