Eva Schloss (pictured) is the stepsister of which famous 20th century figure?

Eva Schloss (born 1929), an Anglo-Austrian, is the stepsister of the famous wartime diarist Anne Frank (1929-1945) who perished in the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp after her family was betrayed only months before the liberation of the Netherlands, where they had taken refuge. Eva's family, like Anne's, had set up home in Amsterdam, and were playmates, but after the German invasion of the Netherlands, both families went into hiding.

Unlike Anne and her sister and mother, Eva survived the Holocaust, although she, too, was transported to a Concentration Camp. After the war she studied Art History, and also trained as a photographer. Her mother, Elfriede, married Anne's father Otto, who also survived the Holocaust, in 1953.

Eva did not publicly speak of her experiences until after Otto's death in 1980. But subsequently she became involved in many Holocaust awareness and outreach projects in Europe and the United States. She was co-founder of the UK branch of the Anne Frank trust, and her experiences are also related in the drama "And Then They Came for Me".
