Margot Frank was born on February 16, 1926, in Frankfurt, Germany. She was the older sister of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who gained fame posthumously for her diary documenting their life in hiding during the Holocaust. The Frank family moved to Amsterdam in 1934 to escape the growing anti-Semitism in Germany.
During World War II, Margot and her family went into hiding in the Secret Annex of her father's office building in Amsterdam. They were discovered by the Nazis in August 1944 and deported to concentration camps. Margot died in March 1945 at the age of 19 in the Bergen-Belsen camp.
