The Nazi Rise to Power

In 1933, the Nazi Party came to power in Germany. The Nazis were a fascist party that believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. They persecuted Jews, communists, and other minorities.

The Frank family was Jewish, and they soon became targets of Nazi persecution. In 1938, Anne's father was arrested and sent to a concentration camp. Anne and her family were forced to flee Germany. They moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, where they hoped to find safety.

Life in Hiding

In Amsterdam, the Frank family went into hiding. They lived in a secret annex behind a warehouse. The annex was small and cramped, but it was the only place where the Franks could feel safe.

Anne and her family spent two years in hiding. During that time, Anne kept a diary. She wrote about her daily life, her hopes and dreams, and her fears. Anne's diary is a powerful and moving account of life in hiding during the Holocaust.

The Betrayal

In August 1944, the Frank family was betrayed to the Nazis. They were arrested and sent to a concentration camp. Anne and her sister, Margot, died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945.

Anne's father, Otto, was the only member of the family to survive the Holocaust. After the war, he published Anne's diary. The diary has been translated into more than 70 languages and has sold more than 30 million copies. It is one of the most important books of the 20th century.
