Edith Holländer Frank (1900–1945) was the mother of Anne and Margot Frank; born in Germany, she married Otto Frank and moved with the family to Amsterdam in the 1930s to escape rising anti‑Jewish persecution. When the Franks went into hiding in the Secret Annex in 1942, Edith shared the cramped, anxious life of concealment with her husband and daughters until the household was betrayed and arrested in 1944. Deported via Westerbork to Auschwitz, she was separated from her daughters (Anne and Margot were later moved to Bergen‑Belsen) and died in Auschwitz in early 1945. Edith’s often strained but ultimately devoted relationship with Anne is one thread in the larger, tragic story of the Frank family’s fate under the Holocaust.
