THE HAGUE, Netherlands Hannah Pick-Goslar, one of Jewish diarist Anne Franks best friends, has died at age 93, the foundation that runs the Anne Frank House museum said.
The Anne Frank Foundation paid tribute to Pick-Goslar, who is mentioned in Annes world-famous diary about her life in hiding from the Netherlands Nazi occupiers, for helping to keep Annes memory alive with stories about their youth.
Hannah Pick-Goslar meant a lot to the Anne Frank House, and we could always call on her, the foundation said in a statement. It did not give details or the cause of her death.
Pick-Goslar grew up with Anne in Amsterdam after both their families moved there from Germany as Adolf Hitlers Nazi party rose to power. The friends were separated as Annes family went into hiding in 1942 but met again briefly in February 1945, at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, shortly before Anne died there of typhus.
Before World War II, their families lived next door to one another in Amsterdam, and Anne and Hannah went to school together.

that was still around all these years. I hope she had a happy life despite tortured memories.
