Anne Frank
Over one million children
under the age of 16 died in
Nazi concentration camps
during World War II. Anne
Frank was one of them.
2.
Anne Frank was a GermanJewish teenager born on June
12th, 1929. On June 12th, 1942,
Anne received a small red and
white diary for her thirteenth
birthday. She called her new diary “Kitty” and wrote in it every day. Anne’s diary became
her best friend. From July 6th, 1942, Anne’s family and four friends went into hiding from
the Nazis. They hid in small rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam. They hid for 25
months. Everything about their lives became a secret.
3.
But they were betrayed. They were arrested and taken to Nazi concentration camps. In
March of 1945, nine months after she was arrested, Anne Frank died of typhus. She was 15
years old. Only Anne’s father, Otto Frank, survived the Holocaust.
4.
After the war, Otto Frank found his daughter’s diary. In 1947, he published the diary. He
wanted people to know about Nazi fascism and the Holocaust. Since then, the diary has
been published in 55 languages. More than 24 million copies have been sold. In English, the
book is called The Diary of Anne Frank.
