The two-year period the Frank family spent in hiding with four other people (their neighbours Hermann van Pels, his wife and son, and Miep Gies's dentist Fritz Pfeffer) was famously chronicled in Anne Frank's posthumously published diary, which ended two days before they were anonymously betrayed and arrested on August 4, 1944. After detention in the Gestapo headquarters on the Euterpestraat and three days in prison on the Amstelveenveg, Edith, and those she was in hiding with, was transported to the Westerbork transit camp. From here they were deported to Auschwitz on September 3, 1944. Edith and her daughters were separated from Otto upon arrival and were never to see him again. On October 30 another selection separated Edith from Anne and Margot. Edith was selected for the gas-chamber, and her daughters were transported to Bergen-Belsen.

Upon editing Anne Frank's diary for publication, Otto Frank was aware that his wife had come in for particular criticism from Anne because of their often disagreeable relationship and cut some of the more heated comments out of respect for the author and her subject. However, Anne's portrait of an unsympathetic and sarcastic mother was duplicated in the dramatisations of the book, which was countered by the memories of those who had known her as a modest, distant woman who tried to treat her adolescent children as her equals. The discovery, in 1999, of diary pages removed by Otto Frank, showed that Anne's perspective on her mother was changing, but criticised her marriage as a loveless marriage of convenience.
