Anne+Frank

Anne Frank was a Jewish victim of the Holocaust. She wrote a diary that inspired many Jewish people. Anne Frank was born on June 12th, 1929 and died in a concentration camp on May 3rd, 1945. Throughout World War II, she wrote in a diary about her experience of hiding from the Germans. Her parents were Otto and Edith Frank, she also had a sister named Margot. Her family was eventually caught in hiding, and Otto Frank was the only person in the family to survive the Holocaust. He published Anne's diary which is called //The Diary Of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.//

Anne Frank was just a regular girl that went to school and was living a normal life. She had friends and birthdays and parties and most of all freedom. When Anne Frank started seeing what was going on she went to the grocery store to pick up some stuff and she saw a Jewish old lady getting pulled out by a German general. After that her family got together and hid in the attic of her father's work place, with little food and water. They called it the annex. The first year was tough; for her birthday all she got was a candy bar. Most of her neighbors were captured by the Germans and were forced to concentration camps. Her family was hiding out for about two years before they were caught by the Germans. It is believed that a robber broke in and heard the family, and then proceeded to tell the authorities.

Anne Frank died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp from illness. Emaciated, she had already lost her mother to starvation, her sister Margot to typhus, and believed her father to be dead. Three days after her sister's death, Anne herself succumbed to typhus in March 1945. Otto Frank was the only family member to survive the concentration camps. Anne Frank still lives on through her diary which inspired many.
