Introduccion

The Diary of Anne Frank is that it is a very amazing and interesting book because it tells the
personal notes of a Jewish girl named Anne Frank, who lived in hiding with her family and four
other people in Amsterdam during World War II, to escape persecution. Nazi. In her diary,
Anne Frank wrote about her experiences, feelings, dreams and hopes during the two and a half
years she was in hiding.

From my point of view, Anne Frank's diary brings us closer to the reality of the Jews
persecuted by Nazism, and makes us reflect on the value of life and peace.

Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, into a family of
German Jews. Her real name was Annelies Marie Frank. Her father's name is Otto Frank and
her mother's name is Edith Holländer and her older sister Margot Frank.

She moved with her family to Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1933, when Hitler came to power in
Germany.

In 1940, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands and anti-Semitic laws began to restrict the rights of
Jews. Ana and her family had to wear the Star of David, change schools, and hand over their
assets.

In 1942, after her sister Margot received a deportation order, Ana and her family decided to
hide in a secret part of an office building, called “the back house,” where Ana's father worked.
There they joined another Jewish family, the Van Pels, and a dentist named Fritz Pfeffer. The
eight in hiding received the help of four employees of Ana's father, Miep Gies, Jan Gies, Bep
Voskujl, Victor Kugler and Johannes Kleiman, who provided them with food, news and books.

Ana began writing her diary on June 12, 1942, the day of her 13th birthday, when she was
given her diary as a gift. In her diary, Ana wrote to an imaginary friend named Kitty, who told
her everything that happened to her, what she thought and what she felt. Ana wrote about
daily life in hiding, the difficulties of coexistence, the fear of being discovered, war, politics,
religion, education, culture, love and the future. She also wrote stories, poems and reflections
on her own personality and her vocation as a writer.

On August 4, 1944, those in hiding were discovered and arrested by the Gestapo, after an
anonymous complaint. They went to different concentration camps. Anne and her sister
Margot were sent to Auschwitz and then to Bergen-Belsen, where they died of typhus in
February or March 1945, shortly before the camp was liberated. The only survivor of the eight
in hiding was Otto Frank, Anne's father.

After the arrest of those in hiding, Miep and Bep had found Ana's diaries lying on the floor of
the back house. Miep had kept them all the time in a drawer of her desk. When they
discovered that Ana was dead, they gave her father Otto Frank her diaries and notebooks.
Years later, Otto Frank would publish the famous diary known in Spanish as the Diary of Anne
Frank.
Anne Frank's house became a museum in 1960, thanks to her father, Otto Frank, the only
survivor of the eight in hiding. The museum preserves the house as it was when Anne Frank
and the others lived there, with the entrance hidden by a false bookshelf. The museum can
also see personal objects, photographs, documents and videos related to Anne Frank and her
time. The museum receives millions of visitors every year and is one of the most iconic places
in Amsterdam.
