Anne Frank died from typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp Previously thought she died on in March, weeks before camp was liberated But new research has shown she likely died some time in mid February Evenif British troops had arrived earlier, she couldn't have been saved By Chris Pleasance for MailOnline Published: 06:48 EST, 31 March 2015 | Updated: 12:15 EST, 31 March 2015 126 shares 3 View comments Diarist Anne Frank likely died a month earlier than previously thought meaning there was little chance of her surviving the Holocaust, according to new research. It was previously believed that the Jewish teenager, who was sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, died of typhus on 31 March 1945, two weeks before the camp was liberated. However a new study puts the date of her death at some point in mid February, meaning that even if British troops had reached the camp a little sooner, she would likely not have survived.
