Edith Frank-Holländer, Anne and Margot's mother, was left behind in Auschwitz-Birkenau when her daughters and Auguste van Pels were transferred to Bergen-Belsen, as her health had started to deteriorate. Witnesses reported that her despair at being separated from her family led to an emotional breakdown. They described her searching for her daughters endlessly and said that she seemed to not understand that they had gone, although she had seen them board the train that took them out of the camp. They also said that she began to hoard what little food she could obtain, hiding it under her bunk to give to Anne and Margot when she saw them. They said that Edith Frank told them Anne and Margot needed the food more than she did, and therefore she refused to eat it. She died 6 January 1945 from starvation.
Otto Frank gave up his company in July 1942 when the Franks went into hiding in the Secret Annex. He had to close his business and go into hiding to escape Nazi persecution during World War II.
Anne's mother, Edith, died shortly after Mrs. Van Pels, Margot and Anne were moved to a different camp, as they were stronger than she. She died of starvation, because she was refusing to eat, and would give her food to other prisoners.
Rescued by Miep Gies after those in the annex had been taken away, she stored it - unread - in her desk drawer until the war was over. She had intended to give it to Anne upon her return, but had to give it to Otto instead.

Yes, Miep Gies discovered Anne Frank's diary after the Frank family was arrested and she kept it safe, intending to return it to Anne after the war. She gave the diary to Otto Frank, Anne's father, who survived the Holocaust, upon his return to Amsterdam.

Anne Frank and her family were ultimately discovered by the Nazis in their hiding place in Amsterdam. They were arrested and sent to concentration camps, where Anne and her sister Margot died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen camp in March 1945, just weeks before the camp was liberated. Their mother, Edith, died in Auschwitz. Their father, Otto Frank, survived and after the war, he published Anne's diary, bringing her story to the world.
