Holocaust survivor to share memories, past

February 19, 2003

Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss will speak on campus today.

Schloss was friends with Anne Frank, a Holocaust victim whose diaries were turned into an award-winning novel and play.

Schloss will speak from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Room 113 Linton Hall and tell the story of her life starting from where Frank's diary left off.

When the Nazis annexed Austria in March 1938, Schloss fled with her family to Amsterdam. Her family hid from the Nazis until they were betrayed and sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp.

After the war, Schloss's mother married Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father.

The event is sponsored by the MSU Jewish Studies Program.
