A message from The King following the death of Auschwitz survivor, Eva Schloss

Posted by Karen on January 4, 2026, 4:37 pm

Eva Schloss was the Stepsister of Anne Frank. Eva's mother married Otto Frank after the war. Eva and her family were neighbours of the Franks in Amsterdam and had to go into hiding the same time as their neighbours. Like the Franks they were betrayed and found. Eva and her Mother survived, but the rest of her family didn't. She spent the rest of her life global peace and providing Holocaust education. Talking about her experiences to audiences around the world. She wrote three books: Eva's Story, After Auschwitz, and The Promise, which is aimed especially at children.

There are so few still alive that can speak firsthand of their experiences during that horrible, dark period of history. Those of us who were raised by the Greatest Generation can repeat the stories we were told and uphold the values we were raised with, but as we age the younger generation really isn't interested in learning lessons from what the world already suffered through. I'm afraid the torch will be allowed to burn out.

My grandmother lost family during WWII. The survivors left stories--typed--for future generations. Most of her cousins didn't make it to concentration camps; they were murdered in their villages. The survivors are all gone now as well, but they live on through their written words.

Eva Schloss was an incredible woman to have survived the Holocaust. I am sure her memory will be a blessing.

I'm so sorry for how your family suffered.
