Anne Frank was a German-born Jewish diarist who gained worldwide fame posthumously for keeping a diary documenting her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands. Born in 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany, she moved with her family to Amsterdam in 1933 to escape the Nazi regime. In 1942, the Frank family went into hiding in an Amsterdam attic to escape deportation to Nazi concentration camps. Anne regularly described her family's everyday life in their hiding place in her diary until their arrest in 1944. Tragically, Anne died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945 at the age of 15. Her diary, published after the war, has since become one of the most widely read works of the 20th century, giving a poignant and personal account of the Holocaust.
