German-Dutch Β· b. 1929–1945

Anne Frank (1929-1945) was a German-born Jewish girl whose diary, kept while she and her family hid from Nazi persecution in a concealed annex in Amsterdam, became one of the most widely read accounts of the Holocaust. Her family went into hiding in July 1942 after her older sister received a deportation notice, and Anne recorded daily life in the annex, her hopes, and her observations for just over two years before the group was discovered and deported in August 1944. Anne died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in early 1945, weeks before the camp was liberated. Her father, Otto Frank, the only member of the household to survive, published her diary in 1947 as Het Achterhuis, later translated into English as The Diary of a Young Girl. It has since been translated into over 70 languages and remains a foundational text for Holocaust education worldwide.

Notable works: The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank's Diary)
