Anne Frank
Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who lived during the Holocaust. She was born on July 12th, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany, the 2nd daughter of Otto and Edith Frank. After Hitler and the Nazis were elected in 1933, the Franks fled Germany in fear of what would happen if they stayed. In May 1940 the Nazis took over the Netherlands where the Franks were living. The Nazis started passing anti-Jew laws that affected the Frank family immensely . Anne could no longer go to public schools. The Franks soon decided to go into hiding. On Anne's 13th birthday her father gave her a diary that she would later use to record her feelings and thoughts. On July 6th the Frank family moved into the Secret Annex. The Franks lived there along with the van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer. They lived there together until the Nazis found and arrested them on August 4th, 1944. They were all sent to concentration camps. Otto Frank was the only one to survive. Anne died of typhus, which she had gotten from her sister. After the holocaust Otto Frank returned and found Anne's diary. He later published it so people could understand what life was like in hiding.
