When did Anne Frank hid from the Nazis?

Answer 1

Anne Frank was arrested on August 4th 1944 after the Achterhuis where she had been hiding was stormed following a tip-off from a still unidentified informer.

Anne, her family and the other who were hiding with them were taken to the Gestapo Headquarters where they were interrogated and held overnight. The following day, they were all moved to the House of Detention. On August 7th, two days later, they were transported to Westerbork Concentration Camp in North-East Holland. Owing to the fact that they were caught in hiding, they were treat as criminals and were ordered to work manual labour in the Punishment Barracks.

On 4th September 1944 (Anne aged 15), they were among the last ever group to be transported from Westerbork to the notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp near Krákow, Poland - a trip of approximately 1200km (746 miles) - arriving after 3 days. As was customary in Auschwitz, the men and women were separated, and Anne's father, Otto Frank, was taken from his family. Anne was one of the youngest members of just 470 the transport to be spared from being immediately gassed - the other 549 were sent to their immediate death. Anne became aware of the gassings not long after arriving in the camp, but never discovered that all of her Achterhuis group had been spared the gassing. She believed that her father, due to his lesser stature, would have been killed immediately after their speration. He did, infact, live to be 91 years-old, dieing in Switzerland in 1980.

Along with the other female prisoners who were speared gassing, Anne would have been forced to strip naked for disinfection. Her head would have been shaved, and she would have had her identity number tattooed onto her arm. At Aushwitz, the women were made to work hard labour - Anne would have forced to haul rocks and dig up rolls of sod.

Some of the female survivors of Auschwitz told Otto Frank that Anne had become withdrawn, and she often cried when seeing children being led to the gas chambers. Other, however, reported that she was strong-willed and courageous, which was admired by the officers in charge of the women - resulting in Anne receiving extra bread rations for herself, her mother and her sister.

As with all concentration camps, disease was fast spreading - and Anne's skin soom became badly infected with Scabies. Anne and her sister, Margot, were tranfered to the camp infermary - a rat infested barrack whcih was in constant darkness. Unbeknown to Anne, her mother, Edith, had stopped eating in order to pass all of her rations to her daughters through a small hole she had made in the bottom of the infirmary wall.

One October 28th 1944, the officers began selecting women for transport to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in North-West Germany. Anne & Margot were selceted, but their mother was left behind, and later died of starvation.

As the over-population of Bergen-Belsen hit critical, the officers erected tents to keep the new transports in. Because of this over-crowding, however, disease spread rapidly, and the death toll was increasing every day. Two of Anne's friends who saw her at the camp noted to Otto after the war that Margot was severaly ill, and that Anne believed both her parents to be dead.

In March 1945, a typhus epidemic spread rapidly through Bergen-Belsen, killing approximately 18000 prisoners. Anne's sister, Margot, was reported by witnesses to have fallen from her bunk. And, in her extremely weakened state due to sickness, died of shock.

Just a few days later, Anne Frank died at bergen-Belsen concentration camp - less than a month before the liberation of Bergen-Belsen by British troops on 15th April 1945.
