When the British Army liberated Bergen-Belsen, the survivors were given towels, crockery and cutlery. For Anna, who was liberated one year after she had been deported from her home in Hungary, these symbolized the first signs of a return to civilization.
Anna was deported to Auschwitz in May 1944 together with her parents, her younger brother and three sisters. Anna's parents and brother were murdered immediately upon arrival, but the four sisters were selected to live. In Auschwitz they later met their older sister and her daughter. After six months of forced labor, the sisters were forced on a death march. Marched in the snow for seven weeks and barely receiving food or water, they were in very poor physical condition when they reached Bergen-Belsen. Shortly after liberation, two of the five sisters died.
