    Anne Frank

    Netherlands, 1940

    Anne Frank was born in the German City of Frankfurt am Main in 1929. Early

    in the Nazi regime (government), Anne’s father, Otto Frank, a German businessman,

    took his wife and two daughters to live in Amsterdam.

    On 1 September 1939, Nazi invaded Poland. The World War 2 began! Not

    long after, on 1940, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. However, the Nazis

    introduced more laws and regulations that made the lives of Jewels harder. For

    example, Jews were no longer able to visit parks, cinemas, or non-Jewish shops.

    Her father lost his company because Jews were no longer allowed to run their own

    businesses. All the Jewish children had to go to separate Jewish school, including

    Anne.
    On June 12 1942, Anne received a red and white plaid diary for her 13 th

    birthday. That day, she began writing in the book. When Anne’s sister, Margot, was

    faced with deportation, the Franks went into hiding on July 6 1942 in the backroom

    office and warehouse of Otto Franks’s food products business. During that time,

    Anne wrote faithfully in her diary, recounting day to day life in hiding. She discusses

    her hopes for the future which included becoming a journalist or a writer. Anne’s last

    diary was written on August 1 1944. The annex was discovered by the Gestapo,

    which was acting on a tip from Dutch informers three days later.

    The Frank Family was then transported to Westerbork, a transit camp in the

    Netherlands, and from there to Auschwitz on September 3 1944. Anne and Margot

    were transferred to Bergen-Belsen the following month. Anne’s mother died in the

    early January, just before the evacuation of Auschwitz on January 18 1945. Both

    Anne and Margot died in a typhus epidemic in March 1945 weeks before the

    liberation of Bergen-Belsen. Otto Frank was found hospitalized at Auschwitz when it

    was liberated by Soviet troops on January 27 1945.

    Anne’s diary was found by Otto Frank when he was given the papers left

    behind by the Gestapo. Anne’s diary was published as Anne Frank: The Diary of a

    Young Girl. The Diary is the most widely read diary of the Holocaust. Anne is

    probably the best known of the Holocaust victims. The Diary was made into a play

    that premiered on Broadway in October 1955, and in 1956, it won both the Tony

    Award for the best play and the Pulitzer Prize for the best drama.
