Auguste van Pels - Biography
Auguste van Pels was born on September 29, 1900 in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony, Germany. She was married to Herman van Pels. She died on April 9, 1945 in Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, Czechoslovakia [now Terezín, Czech Republic].
She, her husband Hermann, and their son Peter fled Germany to the Netherlands in 1937. They joined Anne Frank's family in hiding from 1942 to 1944, when they were betrayed. Auguste and the Frank women were sent to Bergen-Belsen, but records show Auguste was transferred on 6 February 1945 to Raguhn (Buchenwald in Germany), then to the Czechoslovakian camp Theresienstadt on 9 April 1945.
This same card lists her as being alive on 11 April 1945. She died sometime in April or early May, before the camp was liberated. One witness said that she was killed by being pushed onto a train track. She was called Petronella van Daan in the published edition of Anne Frank's diary.
