Mouschi, the cat in Anne Frank’s diary, went missing.
Mouschi was the cat of Peter van Pels, one of the eight people hiding in the Secret Annex along with Anne Frank during World War II. In her diary, Anne Frank mentions Mouschi several times, indicating that the cat was a comforting presence in the cramped and stressful conditions of their hiding place. However, the fate of Mouschi after the residents of the Annex were discovered and deported by the Nazis is not recorded in Anne’s diary, as her entries stopped before that event.
The details surrounding what happened to Mouschi after the Secret Annex was raided on August 4, 1944, are not well-documented. When the Gestapo found the residents, they were taken away, and the fate of the cat was not a priority in the records of the time. It is likely that Mouschi was left behind in the Annex and may have wandered away to find a new home or was taken in by the warehouse staff or neighbors. Unfortunately, without concrete historical records, the exact details of what happened to Mouschi remain unknown.
