ABSTRACT
Annelies Marie‘Anne’ Frank (1929-1945) was a diarist who was born in Frankfurt in Germany. Being Jewish, the family fled from Germany to Holland in 1933. After the Nazi occupation of Holland in 1942, the family, with four other people, hid in a sealed-off annex of rooms above an office in Amsterdam until their betrayal on 4 August 1944. They were taken to concentration camps, and the following year Anne died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen. From the age of 13 she kept a diary which was later published by her father, the only member of the family to survive.
