1942 : Frank family takes refuge
In Nazi-occupied Holland, 13-year-old Jewish diarist Anne Frank and
her family are forced to take refuge in a secret sealed-off area of an
Amsterdam warehouse. The day before, Anne's older sister, Margot, had
received a call-up notice to be deported to a Nazi "work camp."
Born in Germany on June 12, 1929, Anne Frank fled to Amsterdam with
her family in 1933 to escape Nazi persecution. In the summer of 1942,
with the German occupation of Holland underway, 12-year-old Anne began
a diary relating her everyday experiences, her relationship with her
family and friends, and observations about the increasingly dangerous
world around her. On July 6, fearing deportation to a Nazi
concentration camp, the Frank family took shelter in a factory run by
Christian friends. During the next two years, under the threat of
murder by the Nazi officers patrolling just outside the warehouse,
Anne kept a diary that is marked by poignancy, humor, and insight.
On August 4, 1944, just two months after the successful Allied landing
at Normandy, the Nazi Gestapo discovered the Frank's "Secret Annex."
The Franks were sent to the Nazi death camps along with two of the
Christians who had helped shelter them, and another Jewish family and
a single Jewish man with whom they had shared the hiding place. Anne
and most of the others ended up at the Auschwitz concentration camp in
Poland. Anne's diary was left behind, undiscovered by the Nazis.
In early 1945, with the Soviet liberation of Poland underway, Anne was
moved with her sister, Margot, to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
in Germany. Suffering under the deplorable conditions of the camp, the
two sisters caught typhus and died in early March. After the war,
Anne's diary was discovered undisturbed in the Amsterdam hiding place
and in 1947 was translated into English and published. An instant
best-seller and eventually translated into more than 30 languages, The
Diary of Anne Frank has served as a literary testament to the six
million Jews, including Anne herself, who were silenced in the
Holocaust.
