Have you watched Episode 7 of 'Anne Frank was here: The Final Days in Bergen-Belsen' yet? No? You can watch it on our Anne Frank YouTube channel now.

Leyb visits the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where Anne and Margot Frank were murdered. Very little of the camp remains today, as large parts were burned down after the war to prevent the spread of disease.

In this episode, we listen to Hanneli Goslar and Janny Brilleslijper, who both saw Anne at the camp. Janny recalls the day they arrived and how the weather suddenly turned, forcing the prisoners to take shelter from the harsh conditions. Hanneli talks about the moment she found out that Anne was there too, and how she tried to help her by bringing her food.

These moving stories offer a glimpse into Anne's final months in the camp, where conditions were unbearable and disease, starvation, and lice were everywhere.

A memorial stone was placed at Bergen-Belsen in memory of Anne and Margot. Leyb visits the memorial to see it for themselves. As you can see in this picture, Leyb visited the memorial to see it for themselves.

These pictures of Anne, Margot, and Edith Frank were taken in 1933 and 1934.

We receive lots of questions every day about Miep Gies, who helped the people hiding in the Annex. One frequently asked question is: Why did Miep help? Wasn’t it dangerous? Didn’t she put her own life at risk?

Fortunately, there is an interview in which Miep herself explains her reasons for helping. Watch the video here! Have more questions? Leave them in the comments.❤️

In May 1944, the world was holding its breath. The Allied invasion was near, and even in hiding, the people in the Annex felt both the tension and the rising hope. Anne Frank wrote about it in her diary, sensing that change was on the horizon. Despite the fear surrounding her, she expressed her profound love for the Netherlands on 22 May 1944.
A place she never felt entirely safe, yet it remained the place she longed to call her true homeland one day.

On Sunday, 3 September 1944, Anne Frank and her family were deported from the transit camp Westerbork to the concentration camp Auschwitz. After a long journey by train in horrible conditions, they arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau on the night of 5/6 September.

Upon arrival, men and women were separated on the platform. It was the last time Anne saw her father. He was the only one of the people hiding in the Annex who survived the Holocaust.

In total, more than one million people were murdered in Auschwitz and its satellite camps: around 1 million Jews, 70.000 Poles and 21.000 Roma and Sinti. Almost all 15.000 Soviet prisoners of war in this camp were murdered. In addition, thousands of political prisoners and resistance fighters from other European countries were killed in Auschwitz.

Leyb Elias, a relative of Anne Frank, visits Auschwitz in the new episode of the series 'Anne Frank was here'. Here, Leyb meets Bella Eisenman, a Holocaust survivor. Bella was sent to the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp when she was around the same age as Anne Frank. In a conversation with Bella, Leyb learns about the horrors of this place.

On this day in 1940 German soldiers drove into Amsterdam.
This day marked the beginning of five years of N**i occupation in the Netherlands.

On 14 May, the Dutch commander was given an ultimatum: if Rotterdam did not surrender that same afternoon, the city would be bombed. Even before the ultimatum had expired, German planes started dropping their bombs on downtown Rotterdam. When the smoke cleared, close to 80,000 people were homeless and around 850 people had died. The Netherlands had no other option than to surrender.

Anne Frank wrote on 20 June 1942:

‘After May 1940, the good times were few and far between: first there was the war, then the capitulation and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews.’
