Anne Frank and the others were tipped off anomalously and the person is still unknown to this day. Anne and the other hiders were arrested and they were all sent to Camp Westerbork a concentration camp in the Netherlands. Not long after by September 1944 they were transported to Auschwitz an extermination and concentration camp located in Poland. This is where they were all separated and the last time that Otto Frank would see his wife and daughters. Anne and Margot were sent to Bergen Belsen concentration camp leaving their mother Edith Frank behind in Auschwitz where she died on January 6, 1945 of starvation. In March of 1945 while imprisoned in the Bergen Belsen camp, Anne and Margot both died of Typhus. Sadly at the early age of 15 Anne died only weeks before the camp was liberated on April 15, 1945. In 1944 Herman Van Pels died Auschwitz, his son Peter died in May 1945 at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, and his wife Auguste is said to have died at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1945. Fritz Pfeffer died in late December 1944 at the Neuengamme concentration camp. Otto Frank was the only one from the Secret Annex to survive; he was liberated from Auschwitz on January 27, 1945. After his release from Auschwitz he returned to Amsterdam where he received Anne’s diary that was saved by Miep Gies. After Otto Frank read the diary he was amazed of how gifted his daughter was as a writer and also how well it told their story. He felt the need to have the diary published. It was first published in Holland where it was titled Het Archeterhous which translated to The House Behind in June 25, 9147. The diary was later published in America titled Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl in 1952. Since the first time it was published it has become famous known as pone of the greatest stories told during the Holocaust. It has been translated to 67
