Frank in May 1942, two months before she and her family went into hiding |
Do you
know that ...
"Birthday - Anne Frank (1929-1945) was born in Frankfurt, Germany.
She is perhaps the best known victim of the Nazi Holocaust.
Anne and her family moved from Germany to Amsterdam to flee Nazi persecution, then went into hiding in a small attic after Holland was invaded by Nazis.
Anne, a girl on the verge of womanhood, was unable to go outside for any reason.
In 1942, she began a diary to cope with the boredom, fear, annoyances, and loneliness of captivity.
Her family's hiding place was eventually discovered and Anne and her family were deported to Nazi concentration camps.
She contracted typhus and died at Bergen-Belsen in 1945.
After the war, her father published her diary, which inspired the world, revealing a young woman who had managed to remain hopeful, despite it all."
