Does anyone know...what actually happened to the family hiding Anne Frank and family in the attic? I would have thought they'd end up on the same train to the gas chambers as the Jewish family they drag out of the attic.

If this woman survived to be 100 years old, then my guess above is wrong. I wonder how they avoided that fate...?

If you click Joe’s link, it says that Anne’s father, one of eight who were in hiding....was the only one to not be taken. I’m assuming they were all murdered...

The family couldn't end up on the trains as only Jewish people were deported immediately. IIRC only a few days later allied activity stopped the trains. I even read somewhere where it was maintained that Frank was on the last train ever to the camp.

The attic hiding place was in the building where Otto Frank’s business was. Some of their “helpers” did time in Nazi prisons.
