Eva Schloss was born in Vienna in 1929. She was arrested by the Nazis on her 15th birthday and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp where she survived with her mother Fritzi. After the war Eva became a professional photographer and later opened an antiques shop in North London. She co-founded the Anne Frank Trust in 1990 and regularly visits schools, universities, prisons and other institutions to talk about her experiences during the Holocaust and the perils of intolerance. A play, 'And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank' by James Still deals with the lives of Eva and her posthumous step-sister, Anne Frank and other teenagers in the Holocaust. It has been performed all over the USA and in many other countries including a performance by children and young people in London in 2005 to mark the liberation of Auschwitz. In 2012 Eva was awarded an MBE for her work with the Anne Frank Trust and other Holocaust charities.
