Remembering Eva Schloss, Anne Frank’s stepsister, who died at 96 — through her St. Louis visit

Who knew? Before last week, I had no idea Anne Frank, of diarist fame, had a living stepsister.

But there I was Thursday night, at Chabad on Campus at Washington University, enjoying conversation with 87-year-old Eva Schloss, a Holocaust survivor and Frank’s stepsister. Schloss was having dinner with student leaders of Chabad, along with co-director Rabbi Hershey Novack, before speaking to roughly 250 students at a gathering on campus. Wash U’s Chabad Student Association and Chabad sponsored the event.
