Nanette Konig-Blitz (born 6 April 1929) is a Bergen-Belsen concentration camp survivor and former classmate of Anne Frank.
The Nazis occupied the Netherlands in May 1940, and at the beginning of 1941, Jewish students were assigned to Jewish-designated schools; it was then that Nanette became a classmate of Anne Frank.
[5] I was all alone in the camp, so being reunited with someone I knew was something that made me unforgettably emotional, because love and friendship were our only means of hope amid chaos.
After the war, she spent three years in hospital due to typhus, the disease which killed Margot and Anne Frank.
Later, Otto Frank gave Nanette the diary written by his daughter Anne, Het Achterhuis (The Secret Annex).
After Nanette had recovered, she went to live in England where she met her future husband, John Konig, who was of Hungarian origin.
