With great sadness, we received the news of the passing of Eva Schloss (née Geiringer), an Auschwitz survivor. Eva was born on 11 May 1929 into a Jewish family in Vienna. In 1938, her family fled to Belgium and later to the Netherlands. She lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam as Anne Frank. The two girls, only a month apart in age, were sometimes playmates between the ages of 11 and 13. In 1942, both girls went into hiding in an attempt to evade the persecution and arrest of Jews in Amsterdam. In May 1944, Eva’s family was captured by the Germans after being betrayed by a double agent within the Dutch underground and deported to Auschwitz. Her father and brother did not survive. Eva and her mother were barely alive when they were liberated by Soviet troops. After the war, they returned to Amsterdam, where they reconnected with Otto Frank, whom Eva’s mother later married. Eva eventually settled in London, where she married Zvi Schloss. She authored several books and was a co-founder of the Anne Frank Trust in the United Kingdom. Eva Schloss passed away on 3 January 2026.
