  1. The Diary of Anne Frank Introduction

  2. The People

  3. Anne Frank(June 12, 1929—March 1945) Anne died of typhus (in Bergen-Belsen) within days of her sister, Margot, in February or March 1945

  4. Anne’s Mother, Edith Frank(January 16, 1900—January 6, 1945) She 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 January 6, 1945 from starvation.

  5. Otto Frank (May 12, 1889—August 19, 1980) He remained in Auschwitz with other sick prisoners and survived. Later, remarried.

  6. Margot Frank(February 16, 1926—March 1945 She and Anne were transferred to Bergen-Belsen on October 30, where she contracted typhus and died at either the end of February or the beginning of March 1945 at the age of 19.

  7. Hermann Van Pels a.k.a. Mr. van Daan (March 31, 1898—Sept. 1944) died September 6, 1944, in Auschwitz. He was the only member of the group to be gassed. This occurred about three weeks after his arrival at Auschwitz, and his selection was witnessed by his son, Peter, and by Otto Frank.

  8. August van Pels a.k.a. Mrs. Van Daan (Sept. 29, 1900—May 8, 1945) 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 believed to have been transferred before March 1945, to Buchenwald, then to the Theresienstadtghetto, where she is believed to have died.

  9. Peter Van Pels a.k.a. Peter van Daan (Nov. 8, 1926—May 5, 1945) died in Mauthausen during a death march. Otto Frank had protected him during their period of imprisonment together, as the two men had been assigned to the same work group. Frank later stated that he had urged Peter to hide in Auschwitz and remain behind with him, rather than set out on the forced march. Peter decided that he would have a better chance of survival if he joined the march. His death at the age of eighteen occurred three days before the liberation of Mauthausen.

  10. Fritz Pfeffer a.k.a. Albert Dussel (April 30, 1889—Dec. 20, 1944) died December 20, 1944, in Neuengammeconcentration camp. His common-law wife was terribly upset with his portrayal in the diary as well as the movie.

  11. Miep Gies (Feb. 15, 1909 until present)
