From the Diary of a young girl

Annelise Marie 'Anne Frank'(12 June 1929-February/March 1945) was a German born- Jewish girl who wrote while in hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands in world war II.
Her family had moved to Amsterdam after the nazis gained power in Germany but were trapped when the Nazi occupation extended into the Netherlands. As prosecutions against the Jewish population increased ,the family went into hiding in July 1942 in hidden rooms in her father 'Otto Franks' office building.
After two years in hiding ,the group was betrayed and transported to the concentration camp system where Anne died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen within days of her sister, ' Margot Frank'.
Her father ,Otto, the only survivor of the group, returned to Amsterdam after the war ended, to find that her diary had been saved. Convinced that it was a unique record ,he took action to have it published in English under the name "The Diary Of A Young Girl".
The diary was given to Anne Frank for her thirteenth birthday and chronicles the events of her life from 12 June 1942 until its final entry of 1 August 1944. Anne Frank has become one of the most renowned and discussed of the Holocaust victims.
