Summary

Many know the tragic story of Anne Frank, the teen whose life ended at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. But most people don't know about Eva Schloss, Anne's playmate and posthumous stepsister. Though Eva, like Anne, was imprisoned in Auschwitz at the age of 15, her story did not end there. Together with her mother, Eva endured daily degradation at the hands of the Nazis. She survived the prison camps, but it would be decades before Eva was able to tell her survivor's tale.

Author Biography

Eva Schloss lectures widely in the United States, Europe, and Australia about the Holocaust and its consequences. Her story is also told through the popular play And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank, written by James Still, at performances of which she often holds question-and-answer sessions.
