The Life of Anne Frank

Who Was Anne Frank?

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who became famous for the diary she wrote while hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Born in Germany in 1929, Anne moved with her family to the Netherlands to escape persecution, but when the Nazis occupied the country, life became dangerous for Jewish families like hers.

Why Did Anne Frank Go Into Hiding?

Anne’s family went into hiding because the Nazis were persecuting Jewish people, forcing them into concentration camps where many were killed. The family hoped to survive the war by staying hidden and relying on friends to bring them food and supplies.

Where Did Anne Frank Hide?

Anne and her family went into hiding in a secret annex, a hidden part of her father’s business in Amsterdam. The entrance was concealed behind a bookcase. For over two years, Anne, her family, and four others lived in this cramped space.

How Long Was Anne Frank in Hiding?

Anne and her family stayed in hiding for just over two years, from July 1942 until August 1944. During this time, Anne kept a diary where she recorded her thoughts, fears, hopes, and experiences.
