When Anne and Margot arrived at Bergen Belsen, they quickly found out it was worse than Auschwitz. The camp was already overcrowded so they had to sleep in a tent with no toilet or bed. The two sisters reunited with friends Rebekka and Jannie Brilleslijper. They became friends at Westerbork.
Physically, Anne became worse. Both her and Margot contracted typhus. This disease spread by lice swept the camp. Both sisters became sick with fever, muscle pain and rashes. In late February or early March 1945, Anne and Margot Frank died from the typhus. Their bodies were burned by the Nazi's because of the disease. Edith Frank died from starvation at Auschwitz. Otto was the only member of the family to survive. Because of Miep Gies holding onto Anne's diary, it has become a legacy of a young girl who believed that the world was still decent and kind.

The End.
