Anne Frank
And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything
will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace
and tranquility will return once more"
Anne Frank, July 1944
"I want to live on, even after death."
Anne Frank, April 1944
Born on June 12, 1929, Anne Frank was a German-Jewish teenager who
was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust. She and her family,
along with four others, spent 25 months during World War II in an annex
of rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
After being betrayed to the Nazis, Anne, her family, and the others
living with them were arrested and deported to Nazi concentration
camps. In March of 1945, nine months after she was arrested, Anne Frank
died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen. She was fifteen years old.
Her diary, saved during the war by one of the family’s helpers, Miep
Gies, was first published in 1947. Today, her diary has been translated
into 67 languages and is one of the most widely read books in the world.
