4 August 1944


On 4 August 1944, Anne Frank and the other people in hiding were discovered and arrested. After the arrest, Anne lived for another six months. After the Westerbork and Auschwitz camps, she ended up in Bergen-Belsen. With regard to those final months, we only have the testimonies from others about her. Some said that Anne and Margot were always together.
The conditions in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were horrible. The prisoners were hungry and cold, and many of them fell ill due to the poor hygiene in the camp. Anne and Margot became ill as well, they both died in February 1945, we don't know the exact date, two months before the camp was liberated by British soldiers.
