In 1953, Schloss' mother married Ann Frank's father, Otto, the only member of his immediate family to survive. Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the age of 15, months before the end of the war.
Freed from Auschwitz, she was silent about her ordeal for four decades. Then she decided to dedicate her life to educating people about the dangers of prejudice.
Britain’s King Charles III said he was “privileged and proud” to have known Schloss, who co-founded the Anne Frank Trust UK to help young people challenge prejudice.
