Apparently, he gave up only a few days after arriving in Auschwitz. He didn't see anymore reason to live and willingly went to the gas chambers. He was gassed in October 1944 at the age of 46.
Hermann van Pels was gassed in a concentration camp during the Holocaust, likely due to the Nazi regime's policies of systematic extermination of Jewish people. He, along with his family, was trying to hide from persecution in the secret annex in Amsterdam before being arrested and sent to a concentration camp.
Hermann van Pels was born on March 31, 1898, in Gehrde, Germany.
He was the only member of the eight occupants hiding in the Secret Annex to be gassed to death. Hermann was put in a gas chamber when he injured his thumb and is unable to do any of the hard labor he was assigned to.
