Hey guys! Today we're talking about Anne Frank. The reason why I'm talking about her is because I'm learning about her in school.So who's Anne Frank? Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who lived during World War II and therefore the Holocaust. She was born in Frankfurt am Main in Germany and was 4 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party, a political party that hated Jews. It wasn't good news for the Franks, so they moved to Holland. They had a normal life there until Anne was about 12 when Hitler invaded Holland and started putting restrictions against Jews and sending them to concentration and extermination camps, thus starting the Holocaust. The Franks knew they had to go into hiding quickly. They went into hiding along
with the Van Pels family, which she changed the name to Van Daan in the diary, and later a man called Fritz Pfeffer, whom she called Mr. Dussel in her diary, for the next 18 months. They eventually were caught and sent to concentration camps. The only one who survived was Anne's dad, Otto Frank. Anne died of typhoid in 1944, just 2 weeks before the camp's liberation by British troops.
Happy weekend!
