I have found two conflicting sources as to whether or not Anna survived.
According to the Yad Vashem data base for Shoah Victims (http://www.yadvashem.org/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_FL/.cmd/acd/.ar/sa.portlet.FromDetailsSubmitAction/.c/6_0_9D/.ce/7_0_V9/.p/5_0_P1/.d/1?related_key=&DTsearchQuery=&todo=2&images=%5B%2Fleading_folder%2Falex_lodz.jpg%5D&imagedescs=%5B%2Fleading_folder%2Falex_lodz.jpg%5D&itemid=4627883&q1=Bvh%2B5S9cxiA%3D&q2=4WKPHlWYL5egi9PM1JjINwHZwX2wTX0M&q3=UFqLOlaTCa8%3D&q4=UFqLOlaTCa8%3D&q5=5SYU0%2BQDtns%3D&q6=pocTfpN6rdw%3D&q7=9FsgFqlTDC7tMcqixkOpBhLITbN%2FcBWw&npage=&zoomdesc=&victim_details_name=+Rubinstein+Anna&fromSearch=yes&victim_details_id=4627883&imagenum=0&searchfor=3#7_0_V9) she perished in the Shoah. However, through the USHMM database name search (http://www.ushmm.org/namesearch/) I found her name 'Anna Kaplan', her birthplace (Lodz) and her birth year (1926). And this website states that Anna did indeed survive the Holocaust and is living in Feldafing. It is possible that this is a different Anna though since we don't have much information - either way though, I believe there is a possibility she could have survived.
