Anne Frank Over one million children under the age of sixteen died in Nazi concentration camps during W.W. II. Anne Frank was one of them. Anne Frank was a German-Jewish teenager born on June 12, 1929. On June 12, 1942, Anne received a small red and white diary for her thirteenth birthday. She called her new diary “Kitty” and wrote in it every day. Anne’s diary became her best friend. From July 6, 1942, Anne’s family and four friends went into hiding from the Nazis. They hid in small rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam. They hid for 25 months. Everything about their lives became a secret. But, they were betrayed. They were arrested and taken to Nazi concentration camps. In March of 1945, nine months after she was arrested, Anne Frank died of typhus. She was fifteen years old. Only Anne’s father, Otto Frank, survived the Holocaust. After the war, Otto Frank found his daughter’s diary. In 1947, he published the diary. He wanted people to know about Nazi fascism and the Holocaust. Since then, the diary has been published in 55 languages. More than 24 million copies have been sold. In English, the book is called, The Diary of Anne Frank. Copyright 2007. This eBook is produced and distributed by Red River Press Inc. All rights reserved.
