Anne+Frank

Anne Frank by Emily

Anne Frank was one of the many Jewish teenagers during World War 2. Although she went through many tough times she had some good times with her friends and loved ones. Anne was born on June 12th 1929 in Frankfurt Germany where she lived with her mother Edith, father Otto, and her older sister Margot. The family was very happy they lived in Germany for about 5 years,until World War 2 when Adolf Hitler became the German dictator. He had made very moving speeches to the people and said that the Jews were the reason for all their troubles. These speeches convinced the people to listen to this man. It was after the Great Depression so the country was so desperate. Once the Franks heard about the uprising in Berlin they knew that they had to get out of Germany because it would be hard for Jews to carry out their religion. At first while Ann's family was trying to find a place in Switzerland where the brother of Otto lived. He owned a Jam shop and they promised that the family could take over the shop. Anne and her sister stayed with their mother in Aachen until their father returned. Eventually when Margot turned 13 the family was reunited in a big house in Amsterdam. The children in the fall then attended a Jewish school where they met a lot of friends. Sadly in 1941 the Franks had to go into hiding in a bookcase. Hitler and his Nazis crew were going into each city and taking Jews into Concentration Camps where they were being put to death. They quietly moved into a friend of the families and lived there for about three years. On August 13th1944 the family was found by a big crowd of Nazis. The sisters were taken into Bergen- Bel-sen and then to Auschwitz where they died of an infection disease.The only person who survived out of the Frank family was the father Otto. While Anne was with her family though she carried a secret diary of everything in her life and her hopes and dreams of being a writer after her death the diary was found by her father and soon then was translated and published when the war was over.Anne Frank will now always be apart of World War 2 history and be known for her famous Diary during the war.
