Anne Frank (diarist)

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who gained worldwide recognition for her detailed diary, written during hiding from Nazi persecution in World War II. Born in 1929 in Germany, her family fled to the Netherlands to escape anti-Semitic laws, but later went into hiding in Amsterdam when the Nazis occupied the country. During her two years in concealment, Anne documented her thoughts, hopes, and fears, providing a poignant, personal glimpse into life under oppression. She died in a concentration camp in 1945. Her diary has become a powerful symbol of the human spirit and the devastating effects of prejudice.
