Anne Frank died from a disease, likely typhus, that spread like wildfire through Bergen-Belson due to the squalid conditions of the camp, rampant malnutrition, and medical neglect from the guards. Nobody would ever claim she died of "natural causes" just because the Nazis didn't directly murder her in a gas chamber. Nor should anyone claim the victims at this residential school died of natural causes if it was a disease that was their ultimate cause of death instead of direct physical violence from their captors.
