Early life
Eva Geiringer was born in Vienna to a Jewish family. Heinz, Sheinz's older brother, was born in 1926. Her family emigrated to Belgium and then to the Netherlands shortly after the 1938 annexation of Austria by Germany. Anne Frank and the girls, who were just a month apart in age, were often playmates from age 11 to 13. Both girls went into hiding in 1942 to escape the Nazi attempt to capture the Jews of Amsterdam. Schloss' family was captured by the Nazis in May 1944 after being arrested by a double agent in the Dutch underground and taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi concentration camps. Her father and brother survived the ordeal, but when she and her mother were released by Soviet troops in 1945, they were barely alive.
They returned to Amsterdam, and during that time, Schloss and her mother revived their friendship with Otto Frank, who was still mourning the loss of his wife and children and the discovery of Anne's diary. Elfriede Frank, the Schloss' mother (1905-1998), married Otto Frank in November 1953.
Post-war life
Schloss continued her education and then concentrated on art history at the University of Amsterdam. She then moved to England to study photography for a year. She met and married Zvi Schloss, a German immigrant whose father was imprisoned at Dachau concentration camp and who had been residing in Palestine while on incarceration, while she was there. The couple later settled in England and gained British citizenship.
Schloss has three children and lives in London. In 2016, her husband died.
Schloss resigned as a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and Austria in June 2021, extending Austrian citizenship as a sign of reconciliation with her native country.
