	Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt am Main in Germany in 1929. She moved to Holland with her family when the Nazis became powerful in Germany. During the Second World War the Nazis occupied Holland and created a police state. The Nazis believed that some races, such as Jews and gypsies, did not deserve the right to live and they started to arrest, transport and kill them. Anne and her family were Jews and were afraid for their lives and so they went into hiding. The family hid in the Secret Annexe at the back of a warehouse from July 1942 until August 1944 when they were discovered by the Nazis. During the terrible time in hiding and constantly in fear of discovery, Anne was growing from a young girl into a woman and she recorded her thoughts and experiences in a diary. The occupants of the Secret Annexe were betrayed just before the War ended, and were taken off to concentration camps. Anne died of typhus in 1945, just a few months before her sixteenth birthday. Her diary was found after the War and was later published by her father, the only surviving member of the family. It has become a bestseller throughout the world and is an extraordinary piece of writing from such a young girl. It reminds us of the horror of prejudice and persecution as well as telling one girl's remarkable story. One can't help but wonder what sort of writing Anne might have produced if she had survived the horrors of World War II.
