Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who lived and died during the Holocaust. In June, 1942, Anne, the youngest daughter of the Frank family, celebrated her thirteenth birthday. One of her gifts was a diary which she named Kitty. Less than a month later, the Frank family hid from the Nazis for two long years in a secret place at the back of a warehouse. Friends brought them food and news from the outside. During that time, Anne kept the diary in which she did not only write about the horrors of the war but the everyday problems of being a teenager. Anne’ last diary entry was August 1, 1944. The German police raided the apartment on August 4 and sent its occupants to concentration camps. The only survivor was Anne’ father, Otto Frank.
