Anne Frank is one of the most famous victims of the Holocaust, yet unlike many well-known historical figures, she has no marked grave. Millions of people have read her diary, visited the house where she hid in Amsterdam, or stood before the memorials dedicated to her memory. However, no one can visit her actual burial place because no one knows exactly where she lies. The reason is tied to the terrible final months of the Second World War, when disease, starvation, and death overwhelmed the Nazi concentration camp where she spent the last weeks of her life. By the time Anne Frank died, the camp had become a place of unimaginable suffering, where thousands of people were dying every week and individual burials had become impossible.
