Anne and Margot Frank were also among them. They were all part of a group of mostly Dutch women who spent a lot of time together. Jannie witnessed the illness, but not the death of Anne and Margot.<sup data-footnote-id=\"img3x\"><a href=\"#footnote-9\" id=\"footnote-marker-9-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[9]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Brilleslijper sisters were still in Bergen-Belsen when British troops liberated the camp on <strong>15 April 1945</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"m6whv\"><a href=\"#footnote-10\" id=\"footnote-marker-10-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[10]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In <strong>October 1945</strong>, Jannie stayed at a sanatorium in Bloemendaal.
