Who was Anne Frank?
Anne Frank was an ambitious young Jewish girl who lived in Amsterdam during the Holocaust. She loved the outdoors, adventure and most of all, writing. Shortly after her thirteenth birthday on July 6th 1942, Anne, her sister, Margot, her mother, Edith and her father, Otto went into hiding in Amsterdam. She was given a diary for her birthday and wrote in it often while they were in hiding. The secret Annex that they hid in was located just above Mr. Frank's warehouse, which was where he had worked. They were tucked away there for over two years along with the van Pel family and Mr. Pfeffer until they were found by the Germans and taken to concentration camps. During Anne's time in hiding she kept a diary. Later, after she had died in the concentration camp, the diary was found by her father and published into 70 different languages and shared around the world.
Contained within the pages of her diary were Anne's thoughts and feelings of a young girl who loved the outdoors, but was trapped in a confined space for over two years. She wrote about her life in the Secret Annex and what it was like living with eight other people trapped inside a tiny little space. Anne Frank's diary wasn't special because of what she wrote in it but how she wrote in it. Her writing is very profound. She loved writing fairy tales because she was able to use her imagination to bring her somewhere else other than the tiny annex they hid in. Today we can all learn of Anne's Story from her remarkable diary that she left for us.
