Anne Frank was born in Germany in 1929 and moved with her family to the Netherlands in 1933 to escape Nazi persecution. In 1942, after Germany occupied the Netherlands, Anne and her family went into hiding in an annex of a building in Amsterdam. While in hiding from 1942 to 1944, Anne received a diary for her 13th birthday which she wrote in regularly, documenting the family's time in hiding. The diary provides one of the most famous first-hand accounts of the experiences of Jews during the Holocaust. Anne and her sister ultimately died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.
