Explore the life of Anne Frank, from her early years in Nazi Germany to her time in hiding at the Secret Annex. Learn about the personalities within the Annex, the impact of WWII on its inhabitants, and the posthumous influence of Anne's diary, which sheds light on the human experience during the Holocaust.

Anne Frank's Early Life and the Rise of Nazism

Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, into a Jewish family. In the face of growing anti-Semitic laws and actions, the Franks moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1934, seeking refuge from Nazi persecution. Anne's father, Otto Frank, established a business, and the family assimilated into Dutch society. However, with the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in 1940, the Franks' lives were once again upended. Anti-Jewish measures forced Anne and her sister Margot to attend a segregated Jewish school. The Holocaust, the systematic extermination of six million Jews by the Nazis, was the dark backdrop of Anne's childhood and adolescence.

The Frank Family's Hiding and the Secret Annex

The Frank family was thrust into hiding in July 1942 after Margot received a notice to report to a Nazi labor camp. They took refuge in a hidden section of Otto Frank's office building, known as the Secret Annex. Alongside the Frank family, four other Jewish individuals joined them in hiding: Hermann and Auguste van Pels, their son Peter, and Fritz Pfeffer, a dentist. Helpers, including Miep Gies and Victor Kugler, risked their lives to provide the group with necessities. Anne's diary entries from this period reveal her inner life, grappling with the challenges of adolescence, the complexities of her family relationships, and the fears and hopes she harbored while secluded from the outside world.
