Anne Frank's best friend dies at 96: Revealing untold secrets of their friendship
Jacqueline van Maarsen, Anne Frank’s cherished best friend, passed away last Thursday at the age of 96. Their friendship began in the autumn of 1941, when both girls were forced to transfer schools due to Nazi segregation laws. Despite the turbulence of that time, Jacqueline and Anne formed a bond that would last a lifetime, with Jacqueline dedicating much of her life to keeping Anne’s memory alive.
