Anne Frank: The Whole Story — Germany

Scene

After Auschwitz, Anne and Margot Frank are transferred to Bergen-Belsen where they die of typhus in late February 1945 — weeks before the camp's liberation by British forces.

History

Bergen-Belsen was liberated by British forces on 15 April 1945. They found 60,000 survivors and more than 13,000 unburied corpses. Anne Frank died of typhus, probably in late February 1945, aged 15. Her sister Margot died days before her. Of the eight people hidden in the Secret Annex, only Otto Frank survived.
