    Peter van Pels is the deceased love interest of Anne Frank and it's based on true story.

    =His Story[]

Hermann van Pels, however, was forty-six years old on arrival at Auschwitz-Birkenau and therefore not part of the age group (fifty years and older) that, as a rule (with many exceptions), was immediately selected for the gas chamber.[3]

    After the war, the Information Bureau of the Netherlands Red Cross tried to map the deportations to Auschwitz and other camps, on the basis of collective reconstruction.[4] The Red Cross reconstructed th
