“Nanette Blitz Konig”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Nanette was born on 6 April 1929 in Amsterdam, Holland, daughter of Martijn Willem Blitz and Helene Victoria Davids.^[5] She had an older brother, Bernard Martijn born in 1927, and a younger brother, Willem, born in 1932 with a “blue baby” heart defect and died in 1936. The family was of Jewish origin and her father worked for the Amsterdamsche Bank. Holland was occupied in May 1940 by the Nazis. At the beginning of 1941, Jewish students were assigned to Jewish designated schools; it was then that Nanette became a classmate of Anne Frank.

The Blitz Family was arrested and taken to Westerbork transition camp. 15 February 1944, they were deported to Bergen Belsen concentration camp.^[7]

At end of November 1944 Nanette's father dies. At the beginning of December, Nanette's brother and mother were deported from Bergen Belsen and she remained alone. Her brother died in Oranienburg concentration camp and her mother was deported to Beendorf salt mines as a slave labourer and died in April 1945 in a train that was on the way to Sweden.

In January 1945, Nanette was transferred to a part of Bergen Belsen known as the small women’s camp. From there she saw Anne Frank in the large women’s camp through the barbed wired fence. These two camps become one section and it was then that Nanette gets together with Anne and her sister Margot.^[8]

Nanette survived Bergen-Belsen and was rescued by the British Major Leonard Berney. After the war, she spent three years in hospital with typhus which killed Anne Frank. During this period, Anne's father came to visit and ask about his daughters. Later, Otto Frank gave Nanette the diary written by his daughter Anne “Het Achterhuis” (The Secret Annex). After Nanette recovers, she went to live in England where she met her husband, John Konig of Hungarian origin. In 1953, they married and moved to Brazil. Nanette gave lectures about the Holocaust and her life. In 2018 “Holocaust Memoirs of a Bergen-Belsen Survivor - Classmate of Anne Frank" by Nanette Blitz Konig was published by Amsterdam Publishers: it gave a detailed account of her experiences during World War II.
