Anne Frank
Anne Frank was
born in Frankfurt,
Germany on June
12, 1929. Her
sister, Margot, is
three years older
than her. Her
family is both
Jewish and
German.
(In that same year, the
United States
experienced The Great
Depression)
1921-1939 in Germany:
• Adolph Hitler becomes head of
the Nazi party in 1921 and
Chancellor of Germany in 1933.
• The first concentration camp at
Dachau is established in March
of 1933 mainly for anyone who
speaks out against Hitler and
the Nazi party.
• Nazis pass anti-Jewish
measures. (Between 1933 and
1939, FOUR HUNDRED laws
were passed in an attempt to
isolate, exclude, and
impoverish Jews.)
1933-1934
They move to the Netherlands.
This is the last photograph
taken of them before leaving
Germany.
In late December, 1933, the Frank
family decides to leave Germany to
escape the rising Anti-Semitism.
Anschluss
• Germany annexes (takes) part of Czechoslovakia and Austria in March 1938.
• Neville Chamberlin (Prime Minister of England) meets with Hitler to condemn
the action. Hitler promises that he will take no more territory. The Munich
Agreement is signed in September, 1938.
German attacks Poland to regain territory that had been lost
after World War I. World War II has begun.

Denmark , Norway, Belgium, France and the
Netherlands fall to the German army.
1940 in the Netherlands:

 Jews are banned from trains,
cinemas, parks, playgrounds,
and swimming pools.

1942
Margot Frank receives
her call-up notice. She
is ordered to report for
deportation to a labor
camp on July 5, 1942,
along with thousands
of other Jews in
Amsterdam. She has
to go to a labour camp
in Germany. Otto and
Edith have no
intention of allowing
their daughter to be
sent to Nazi Germany.
Anne receives her
diary for her 13th
birthday on June 12,
1942.
The Call-Up: Jews, who are
summoned, receive this
document from the Central
Office of Jewish Emigration:
an exact list of what they are
allowed to bring with them. It
also indicates when they
must depart.
1942
• The Franks go into hiding in the Secret
Annex on July 6, 1942. The hiding place is
located in an empty section of the building
owned by Otto Frank’s company.
• The entrance to the secret annex is
concealed by a movable bookcase.
• The VanPels (Hermann, Auguste, and their
son, Peter) join the Frank family one week
later. Anne calls them the VanDaans.
• Fritz Pfeffer, a Jewish dentist, (Mr. Dussel)
joins them in hiding in November, 1942. Click on the picture above for

Fritz Pfeffer moves in
with the families.
Anne changes his
name to Dussel.
Anne changes the Van Pels to
the Van Daans in her diary.
In-Hiding Helpers
The people in hiding are helped
by Otto Frank’s four employees:
Miep Gies, Johannes Kleiman,
Victor Kugler (Kraler) and Bep
Voskuijl. They arrange the food
supplies, clothing, books, and all
sorts of other necessities. In
addition, they keep the people in
hiding up-to-date with the news
from the outside world. Miep Gies
died in 2010 at 100 years of age.
D-Day: June 1944
Operation Overlord was executed on June 6, 1944.
While a phantom army maneuvered
about in northern England
threatening to cross at Calais, the
real assault took place on the
beaches along a 50-mile stretch of
fortified coastline in Normandy. Five
thousand ships carried 150,000
men and nearly 30,000 vehicles
across the English channel, one of
the most unpredictable and
dangerous bodies of water in the
world. Click on the infographic to
enlarge it so you can see the facts
about D-Day
D-Day
August 4, 1944
At approximately 10 am, August 4, 1944, the Frank family's greatest fear comes true. A Nazi
policeman and several Dutch collaborators appear at 263 Prinsengracht, having received an
anonymous phone call informing them that Jews are hiding there. The police head straight for the
bookcase that leads to the Secret Annex.
Karl Joseph Silberbauer, an Austrian Nazi, forces the residents to turn over all their valuables. When
he finds out that Otto Frank had been a lieutenant in the German Army during World War I, he is a
little less hostile. The residents are taken from the house, forced into a covered truck, taken to the
Central Office for Jewish Emigration, and then sent to Weteringschans Prison. Miep Gies gathers
and saves Anne's scattered diary pages.
Two of the helpers, Victor Kugler and Johannes
Kleiman, are imprisoned for their role in hiding
the family.
Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl
are not arrested,
although Miep
is brought in for
questioning
by the police.
Concentration Camps of Europe
Click on the map to open a thinglink. Once you’re there, you can read about the
Concentration Camps Anne and her housemates were.
Auschwitz Death Camp
On the morning of September 3, 1944, a very long train
comprised of freight cars leaves Westerbork. There are more
than 70 prisoners packed into each wagon. Among the 1019
Jewish prisoners are also the eight people from the Secret
Annex. After a dreadful train trip, lasting three days, they
arrive at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Two Groups
On the platform at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the men and
women are separated. Nazi doctors divide the prisoners into
two groups: prisoners who they consider fit enough to work
and prisoners who will be killed immediately in the gas
chamber. The eight people in hiding are spared. They are
expected to perform heavy labor. After a short while,
Hermann van Pels can no longer do this kind of work. He is
murdered in the gas chamber. Mrs. Frank dies of starvation
in January, 1945.
Anne &
Margot
• At the end of October 1944, Anne and Margot are transported
from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Bergen-Belsen. Their mother remains
behind in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Edith falls ill and dies of exhaustion
in January 1945.
• Auguste van Pels arrives at Bergen-Belsen with another transport
of prisoners in November 1944. There she meets Anne and Margot
again. Auguste van Pels is only at Bergen-Belsen for a short while
and probably dies during a transport of prisoners to
Theresienstadt.
• Anne and Margot succumb to typhus in March 1945, a few weeks
before the camp is liberated by the British Army.
The Others
• Fritz Pfeffer died at Neuengamme Concentration Camp in
December, 1944.
• Hitler committed suicide in April, 1945 in a Berlin air raid bunker.
• Otto Frank is liberated from Auschwitz on January 27, 1945. Shortly
before his release, the Nazis evacuate the camp. Prisoners, who can
still walk, must go with them. Peter van Pels is among these
prisoners. He arrives at the Mathausen concentration camp in
Austria at the end of Janaury. The prisoners have to perform heavy
labor. Peter van Pels dies of exhaustion on day 5, 1945.
Otto Frank -- 1980
Otto Frank
dies at the age
of 91 in
August 1980.
1947
• The Diary of Anne Frank
was published in 1947.
• The play, The Diary of
Anne Frank, was written
by Frances Goodrich and
Albert Hackett. It was
performed in 1956 and
continues to be performed
all over the world today.
