    Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (12 June 1929 in Frankfurt am Main – early March

    1945 in Bergen Belsen) was a Jewish German girl who was born in the city of Frankfurt am
    Main in Weimar Germany, and who lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, in the
    Netherlands. She gained international fame posthumously following the publication of her
    diary which documents her experiences hiding during the German occupation of the
    Netherlands in World War II.

    Anne and her family moved to Amsterdam in 1933 after the Nazis gained power in Germany,
    and were trapped by the occupation of the Netherlands, which began in 1940. As persecutions
    against the Jewish population increased, the family went into hiding in July 1942 in hidden
    rooms in her father Otto Frank's office building. After two years, the group was betrayed and
    transported to concentration camps. Seven months after her arrest, Anne Frank died of typhus
    in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, within days of the death of her sister, Margot
    Frank. Her father Otto, the only survivor of the group, returned to Amsterdam after the war to
    find that her diary had been saved, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was
    translated from its original Dutch and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a
    Young Girl.

    The diary, which was given to Anne on her 13th birthday, chronicles her life from 12 June
    1942 until 1 August 1944. It has been translated into many languages, has become one of the
    world's most widely read books, and has been the basis for several plays and films. Anne
    Frank has been acknowledged for the quality of her writing, and has become one of the most
    renowned and most discussed victims of the Holocaust.
