Who was Anne Frank?
In 1942, Anne, along with her family, went into hiding. In 1944, they were discovered by the Gestapo and sent to concentration camps. Her father, Otto, the sole survivor of the Frank family, returned to Amsterdam to find that her diary had been saved by his secretary, Miep Gies. Her work, The Diary of a Young Girl, published posthumously in 1947, documents her life.
More about Anne Frank
Anne Frank’s diary
The Diary of a Young Girl chronicles Anne's daily life. The red and white plaid diary, a gift for her 13th birthday, captures typical adolescent problems, the fear of capture, and her hopes for the future. Over the years, it has been translated into more than 60 languages. In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
About Anne Frank's diary
Anne Frank House
Located on Prinsengracht 263, the Achterhuis or Secret Annex was part of Anne Frank's father, Otto's office. The Secret Annex, the rear extension of the building, was concealed from view by houses on all four sides. The Franks shared the space with the van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer. The Anne Frank House, established in 1957, continues to preserve the house as a museum.
