Who was Anne Frank?
Anne Frank has been referred to as "a symbol for the lost promise of the children who died in the Holocaust." Her work, The Diary of a Young Girl, published posthumously in 1947, documents her life.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Anne Frank moved to Amsterdam with her family when she was only four and a half years old. In 1942, she, along with her family, went into hiding. For two years, they lived in hiding. In 1944, they were discovered by the Gestapo and sent to concentration camps.
Her father, Otto, the sole survivor of the Frank family, returned to Amsterdam to find that her diary had been saved by his secretary, Miep Gies. The clarity and poignancy with which Anne wrote the diary are why the book and her life continue to inspire countless people.

Anne Frank’s Diary
The Diary of a Young Girl, published in 1947, is one of the most popular and inspiring books globally because of the poignant way Anne Frank documented her life in hiding.
Anne chronicles her daily life in a red and white plaid diary, a gift for her 13th birthday, from typical adolescent problems to the fear of capture and her hopes for the future. Anne’s last diary entry was written on 1 August 1944. Three days later, the annex was discovered by the Gestapo. Her father, Otto, the sole survivor of the Frank family, had the diary published. Over the years, it has been translated into more than 60 languages. In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
Know More About Anne Frank's Diary
Anne Frank House
Located on Prinsengracht 263, the Achterhuis or Secret Annex was part of Anne Frank's father, Otto's office. The Franks, who had been preparing to go into hiding with the children on 16 July 1942, moved into this space 10 days earlier after their older daughter Margot received a call-up notice for a German work camp. Otto's employees helped them stay in hiding.
The Secret Annex, the rear extension of the building, was concealed from view by houses on all four sides, making it a great hiding place. The Frank family shared the space with the van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer.
The Anne Frank House, established in 1957, continues to preserve the house as a museum.
