Edith Frank (née Holländer), born in Aachen, Germany, was the mother of Holocaust diarist Anne Frank and her older sister Margot. Coming from a wealthy Jewish family, she married Otto Frank in 1925 and shared a close bond with her daughter Anne, though Anne’s diary revealed a strained relationship with Margot. Tragically, the family was discovered in hiding and sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, where Edith died at 44 years old. Her story, along with her daughter’s diary, remains a poignant reminder of the Holocaust’s horrors.
