Anne Frank: The Young Writer Who Told the World Her Story

Anne Frank, a German-Jewish girl, wrote a vivid, tender diary while hiding from the Nazis during World War II. She was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt (am Main), Germany. Her full name was Annelies Marie Frank. Anne and her family moved to the Netherlands in 1933 after the Nazis began to persecute Jews. In 1942, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, the family hid in a secret annex behind the Amsterdam office and warehouse of her father's food products business. Anne recorded her experiences in a diary. Two years later, the family was betrayed and arrested. Anne died in the Nazi concentration camp at Belsen in March, 1945. Her diary was published in 1947, and later was made into a play and a film, both called "The Diary of Anne Frank".
