Afterwards I found this video with one of her real friends from the film who knew her at school then ran into her again a few weeks before she died at Bergen Belsen of typhus. It was so overcrowded that starvation was so bad there was cannibalism. The friend got rations since part of the camp was built for prisoners to be exchanged, then too many new prisoners were sent there when Germany was losing the war. She threw food over the fence to her but it was caught and taken so she had to get more. This was at the camp where she died Her sister was already sick and she believed her father was already dead. The friend said that may have been a reason she died...lost hope.
