Explanation:

In the "Woman Who Helped Hide Anne Frank Dies At 100", a look back at an interview of Miep Gies by National Pulic Radio's correspondent Teri Schultz, the two revisited the memories of how the diary of Anne came into being.

In the interview, Gies recounts how she had hoped to see Anne come back from the concentration camp and thank her for keeping hr diary safe and intact. But "that day would never come" for she had died in the camp and only her father Otto Frank survived.

The simple and best way to summarize the excerpt is to say that Otto survived the camps while Anne didn't.

i think the literacy device is "it's frozen head"
