Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (* June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt am Main as Anneliese Marie Frank; † February or early March 1945 in the BergenBelsen concentration camp) was a Dutch-German girl who emigrated to the Netherlands in 1934 with her parents and sister Margot to escape from persecution by the National Socialists. Shortly before the end of the war, she fell victim to the National Socialist Holocaust. In the Netherlands, Anne Frank lived from July 1942 in a secret annex in Amsterdam with her family. In this hiding place, she recorded her thoughts and experiences in a diary, which was published after the war by her father, Otto Frank.
