Anne Frank was a young German Jewish girl who received international fame after her death through her diary. She received the diary as a gift on her 13th birthday and used it to document her family's life in hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War 2. Her family was eventually discovered and arrested in 1944, with Anne and her sister later dying at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Her diary provides a firsthand account of Jewish life under Nazi occupation and the discrimination and persecution they faced.
