Eva Schloss

Eva Schloss (née Geiringer; 11 May 1929 – 3 January 2026) was an Austrian‑British Holocaust survivor, writer, and the stepdaughter of Otto Frank, the father of Margot and Anne Frank. She spoke about her family's experiences during the Holocaust many times.

Eva Geiringer was born on 11 May 1929 in Vienna to a Jewish family. In Amsterdam, they lived in a nearby apartment block to the Frank family: Otto and Edith Frank and their daughters, Margot and Anne.

In May 1944, the Geiringers were betrayed by a double agent. They were deported to Auschwitz‑Birkenau, where Geiringer's father and brother died. She and her mother survived and were freed by Soviet forces in 1945.

Schloss died in London, England on 3 January 2026 at the age of 96.
