Anne Frank

Anne Frank was born in the German city of Frankfurt am Main in 1929. She is one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, which documents her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II, is one of the world’s most widely known books and has been the basis for several plays and films. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was 13 when she went into the Secret Annex with her family and that is when she wrote this diary.
