Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who lived most of her life in Amsterdam until she and her family were forced into hiding from the Nazis in 1942. They hid for two years in a secret annex until they were betrayed and arrested in 1944. Anne documented their time in hiding through her diary. She and her sister died in a concentration camp in 1945, but her diary was published after the war and has provided one of the most intimate accounts of life during the Holocaust.
