Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who gained fame posthumously with the publication of her diary, which documents her life in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, she and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam to escape persecution. Her diary, titled The Diary of a Young Girl, provides a poignant insight into her thoughts and experiences during this harrowing time. Tragically, Anne was captured and died in a concentration camp in 1945, but her legacy lives on as a symbol of resilience and the human spirit.
