Anne Frank

Traces the life story of Anne Frank, her family and friends, during the Holocaust. Anne was born on 29 July 1929 in Frankfurt, as second child of the Frank family. In August 1933 Otto Frank left Germany for Amsterdam, and in December his wife and two daughters joined him. In May 1940 the German army occupied the Netherlands. Deportations began in July 1942, and the family went into hiding in a building annex, where Anne wrote her diary. In August 1944 the family was arrested and deported first to Westerbork and then to Auschwitz. In October 1944 Anne and her sister were sent to Bergen-Belsen, where they died in March 1945 due to physical exhaustion and typhus. Anne's mother died in Auschwitz; her father survived, and after the war published Anne's diary.
