Anne Frank was a German Jewish columnist. She was known for the diary she wrote while hiding from anti-Jewish persecution in Amsterdam during World War II. Her diary describes with wisdom and humor the two difficult years she spent in seclusion before her tragic death at the age of 15. Since its first publication in 1947, his journal has been published in more than 50 languages. Perhaps more than any other figure, Anne Frank gave a human face to the victims of the Holocaust. Annelies Marie Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Because of their Jewish faith, Anne Frank and her family fled Nazi Germany for the Netherlands in 1933 to avoid persecution. After Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1942, the family spent two years living in a small hidden room in Amsterdam in order to escape capture by the occupying Nazi forces. They were discovered in 1944 and arrested. Anne was sent to a concentration camp where she died the following year. Her famous diary from the two years she spent in hiding was later found in the room where she and her family lived. Anne's father, Otto, had taken the family to Amsterdam, where he started a small food business. When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, the Franks were again subjected to increasing anti-Semitic persecution. In 1941, Anne had to move from a public school to a Jewish school. Secretly, Otto Frank prepared a hideout by closing off several rooms at the back of his Amsterdam office building. A swinging bookcase hid the pieces Frank hid. In June 1942, Anne received a newspaper for her 13th birthday. She began writing down her thoughts and experiences in the form of letters to an imaginary friend. A month later, the Franks hid in the office building. For the next two years, the Frank family shared cramped living quarters with four other Jews. In the end, it was the people she lived with who published her diary. For 25 months, Anne recorded her experiences while hiding from German troops. His diary describes the fears and emotional conflicts of people gathered in secret. The newspaper also had its good moments apart from its bad moments like funny and memorable moments. These include birthday celebrations and Anne's first experience of falling in love..
