Margot Betti Frank, named after her maternal aunt Bettina Hollander, she was born on February 16, 1926 in Frankfurt, Germany, and lived in the outer suburbs of the city with her parents, Otto Frank and Edith Frank- Hollander, and also her younger sister, Anne Frank during the early years of her life. Margot Frank was sixteen years of age when she and her family went into hiding. On July 5, 1942, she received a notice to report to a labor camp and the next day went into hiding with her family at her father’s office building. They were later joined by four other Jewish refugees and remained hidden for two and half years until they were betrayed on August 3, 1944 by someone was never apprehended or identified. Margot Frank was arrested by the Gestapo and detained in their headquarters overnight before being taken to a cell in a nearby prison for three days. From here they were taken by a train, on August 8th, to the Dutch Westerbork concentration camp. As the Frank family had failed to respond to Margot’s call-up notice in 1942, and had been discovered in hiding, they (along with Fritz Pfeffer and the Van Pels family) were declared criminals by the camp’s officials and detained in its Punishment Block to be sentenced to hard labor in the battery dismanting plant. They remained there until they were transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on October 30, where both contracted typhus in the winter of 1944. Margot Frank died at the age of nineteen, two days before her sister Anne in early March 1945. Janny Brandes-Brilleslijper and her sister Lin Jaldati buried them together in one of the camp’s mass graves. A diary kept by Margot Frank during her time in hiding is mentioned by Anne in her own diary entry writings but has never been found. However, letters written by both Frank sisters to American pen pal were published in 2003.
