What happened to Mrs. Frank?

Ria B.

Mrs. Frank's unfortunate death was due to starvation, not out of limited food, but out of motherhood. While Anne and Margot lay infected with diseases in the infirmary of a concentration camp, Mrs. Frank stopped eating, while saving every crumb of the scarce food she would receive and later, she would generously offer it to her daughters through a hole at the bottom of the infirmary wall. This made me wonder how Anne must have felt, after concluding that her mother would never be appreciated by her.

Mrs. Frank was sent to Auschwitz and died one day before it was liberated. ~Alyssa

When Mrs. Frank was separated from her two daughters, she became crazy. She searched incessantly for her daughters, and refused to believe that they were dead after they had died.

Even while the Allies were continuously coming in and most had hope for the war to come to an end in the Annex, Mrs. Frank was ashamed to admit that she in fact had no hope and no belief that the war would, in fact, end.

Mrs. Frank is portrayed as a critiquing, unrespected woman in Anne's perspective. She feels as if she could never love her mother again. However, after she dies from lack of the food she forced herself to save for her children, a motherly, protective act, it makes readers second-guess Mrs. Frank's character and whether or not she really is a good parent. She becomes remembered in a positive way.
