Edith Holländer

Edith Holländer was the wife of Otto Frank and the mother of Anne and Margot Frank. Born in 1900 in Germany, she married Otto in 1925, and the family later fled to the Netherlands to escape the rise of Nazi antisemitism. Edith played a crucial role in the family's efforts to hide from the Nazis during World War II. Tragically, she died in a concentration camp in 1945, shortly before the war ended. Her legacy endures through her daughter Anne's diary, which provides a poignant insight into the lives of those persecuted during the Holocaust.
