toc = Biography =

Annelies Marie Frank was born to Otto and  Edith    Frank-Holländer, in 12 June 1929  in  Frankfurt am Main,     Weimar Germany. Anne had a sister named Margot, and they were all Jewish. Anne lived most of her life in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. She had Catholic friends and attended schools that promoted her literary education. Ever since she was a little girl, Anne knew she wanted to write and be a published author.

In 1942  Anne received from her father a diary for her 13th birthday, and wrote in an early entry: "I hope that you will be a great support and comfort to me." When she started to write in her diary, she was still attending the Jewish Secondary School. In that time, the German activity expanded and In July 6, 1942   The Franks moved into the "Secret Annexe" – a hiding place in the rooms behind Otto Frank’s office, to save their lives.

They lived in the hiding place, together with the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer, for two years. Anne had spend most of her time in the hiding place writing in her diary, and she had described the most intimate details of daily life during her two-year stay in the Secret Annexe. Anne was also talking about her feelings and fears and how she's spending her life in the Secret Annexe. Anne wrote almost every day in her diary until her last diary entry on August 1, 1944. On August 4, 1944, three days later, the Franks, Van Pels, and Mr. Pfeffer were discovered and arrested by the Gestapo. Anne, her sister Margot and her mother were sent to  Bergen   -Belsen  concentration camp. In March 1945, a    typhus     epidemic     spread through the camp and Anne was also   infected. A few weeks  later Anne died, and she was buried in a mass grave  **. **

Anne's father, Otto Frank was the only member of the family who survived. After the war ended, he returned to Amsterdam in attempt to locate his family, and he found out about his wife and daughter's deaths. In July 1945, Otto was given Anne’s diary that had been forgotten when the Gestapo came. Anne's diary was first published in German in 1947, and was published in America in 1952. It had received widespread critical and popular attention for its English language translation    // "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl // // " //  and had become one of the most popular books of the 20th century.
