Elfriede (Markovits) Frank is Notable.
Biography
Elfriede Markovits was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria, in 1905.
She was married to Erich Geiringer. They had two children: son Heinz, born in 1926, and daughter Eva, born 11 May 1929. In the 1930s they left Vienna, settling first in Belgium and relocating to Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 1938. They hid for about two years to avoid being transported to a concentration camp, but in May 1944 they were found out and sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps.
Her husband and son perished in 1945, not long before the war ended. Elfriede and Eva survived and returned to Amsterdam on June 13, 1945.
In November 1953, Geiringer married Otto Frank, her second husband. They settled in Basel, Switzerland.
She passed away in 1998.

Looked at how it (www.verraadannefrank.nl website) translates, but it doesn't translate things really well, so to make some of it a bit more clear, the Frank and Geiringer family before WWII, both were living in Amsterdam and across each other in the Merwedeplein, so it's very likely they all knew each other already before the war.
Greets and have a wonderful day !
