Overview

Many know the tragic story of Anne Frank, the teen whose life ended at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. But most people don't know about Eva Schloss, Anne's playmate and posthumous stepsister. Though Eva, like Anne, was imprisoned in Auschwitz at the age of 15, her story did not end there. Together with her mother, Eva endured daily degradation at the hands of the Nazis. She survived the prison camps, but it would be decades before Eva was able to tell her survivor's tale.

Concluding with a revealing new interview with Eva, this moving memoir recounts—without bitterness or hatred—the horrors of war, the love between mother and daughter, and the strength ...

Overview

Many know the tragic story of Anne Frank, the teen whose life ended at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. But most people don't know about Eva Schloss, Anne's playmate and posthumous stepsister. Though Eva, like Anne, was imprisoned in Auschwitz at the age of 15, her story did not end there. Together with her mother, Eva endured daily degradation at the hands of the Nazis. She survived the prison camps, but it would be decades before Eva was able to tell her survivor's tale.

Concluding with a revealing new interview with Eva, this moving memoir recounts—without bitterness or hatred—the horrors of war, the love between mother and daughter, and the strength and determination that helped a family overcome danger and tragedy.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
In this new edition that includes an interview with Eva, the author takes the reader on a tale of struggle, survival, hope, and despair. Beginning an account similar to that of Anne Frank, this narrative emerges as a story of survival and rebuilding, what happens after having been found in hiding. Eva, her older brother Heinz, along with their mother and father must leave Germany, finally settling in Holland where they live near the Franks. Heinz and Margot Frank study together and receive their call-up notices on the same day. Unbeknownst to each other or to anyone else, the families go into hiding. Their families' survival is dependent on the kindness of others. Eva's family is split in two for the purposes of hiding, and they are dependent on the kindness of strangers. Each family is denounced and taken to the camps. Otto Frank is the only survivor of his group, whereas Eva and her mother emerge together from hiding and are reunited with Otto, finding solace and hope with each other as they rebuilds their lives and future. The Diary of Anne Frank is well known, yet no record exists of what happened between the end of the diary and Anne's death. This memoir helps fill that gap, providing narrative of a similar girl's struggle to survive. This book will support any Holocaust curriculum, where children learn what happens beyond the Anne Frank's travails. Reviewer: Sara Rofofsky Marcus

A survivor's tale by the stepsister of Anne Frank

Preface

This book started about three years ago. My husband and TI were having coffee with our good friends Anita and Barry. Anita, who came to England as a child refugee in the 1930s, mentioned that her husband, who was ten years old when the war ended, did not really know anything about what had happened to me during the Holocaust.

After a few moments of hesitation, I slowly started to recount some of my experiences. Their questions were so keen, their interest so deep and yet their knowledge of those times appeared so small, that I found myself going into details, some of which I had not revealed to anyone before and had, in fact, suppressed for many years.

At the end of the evening we were all in tears and almost speechless with emotion. My friends were shocked at the thought of how remote most people now are from those events.

They — and my husband — urged me to write my story. This thought pursued me in the weeks that followed. It gave rise to others: I let my life pass in front of me. In spite of what had happened to me during the war I have no feelings of bitterness or hate, but on the other hand I do not believe in the goodness of man.

My posthumous step-sister, Anne Frank, wrote in her Diary: "I still believe that deep down human beings are good at heart." I cannot help remembering that she wrote this before she experienced Auschwitz and Belsen.

Throughout the terrible years I had felt that I was being protected by an all-powerful being, but that source of assurance had begun to give way to some troubling questions. Why had I been spared and not millions of others, including my brother and father? Was the world improving as a result of its experience of mass annihilation? Was it not necessary to tell that story again and again and to look at it from every angle? How much time was left for the handful of survivors, before their unimaginable memories, which only they could bring to life, would be forgotten? Did not I and the other survivors owe a duty to the millions of victims to make it less likely that their deaths had been in vain?

I became convinced that if I could move only a handful of people to care more for their fellow man, I would achieve something worthwhile and that it was my duty to try to do just that.

I decided to approach my friend Evelyn Kent to help me write the story of my Holocaust experiences. I had not said more than a few words when she interrupted me and said: "Eva, I've been waiting ever since I first met you twenty years ago, to write your story."

That is how we came to write this book.
