ANNE FRANK
1929 - 1945

Anne was born in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. She died in the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen, Germany, because she was Jewish. Anne's full name was Anneliese Marie Frank.

Anne keeps the sad record of probably having been the most well known Holocaust victim.

What's the story?

Nut Adolf Hitler and his Nazis ruled. In 1933, Anne's family fled from Germany to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, lived in hiding there from July 9, 1942 to August 4, 1944, and Anne kept a diary of it. This diary was first published as Het Achterhuis, or The Annex, in 1947. It was later translated and published as the Diary of a Young Girl.

Some poor character was ratting on them and the Nazis discovered the hiding place. 

Anne's father was Otto Frank who lived from 1889 to 1980. Her mother died January 18, 1945. Anne had one sister, Margot. Both girls died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen.

Everyone gasps at Anne Frank's quote, "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
