Who Was Anne Frank?

Anne Frank's life was short. She was only fifteen years old when she died in 1945. She was born in Germany, where her father's family had lived for a very long time. Her father was very proud of being German. He expected his children to live in Germany, and their children after them. But that did not happen. The Franks' lives were turned upside down. They had to flee from their country. They had to go into hiding. They lost everything that was dear to them . . . all because they were Jewish and a man named Adolf Hitler was in power. Hitler hated Jewish people. All Jewish people. By the time Hitler was defeated, Anne's mother was dead. So were Anne and her sister. The only person in the family who survived was Anne's beloved father, Otto. But something else survived, too. Anne's diary. Anne kept a diary for two years. During that time, her family was in hiding. They

were hiding from Hitler's soldiers. Anne understood the dangers that her family faced. Yet in her diary she remained hopeful about the world even though terrible things were happening. She drew comfort from the beauty of nature even though she couldn't step outside for a single breath of fresh air. After her death, her diary was turned into a book.
