Many people had lost their jobs and were becoming poorer and Adolf Hitler &#8211; the leader of the Nazi* party &#8211; was blaming Jews* for Germany&#8217;s problems.<\/p>\n<p>Afraid for their safety, Anne&#8217;s parents moved the family to <strong>Holland<\/strong> when Anne was just four years old. Anne lived and went to school in <strong>Amsterdam<\/strong>, and had to learn\u00a0<strong>Dutch<\/strong>. She made lots of friends, and spent her free time reading and playing table tennis.<\/p>\n<p>But when <strong>World War II<\/strong> broke out, life for Anne and her family became much harder. The Nazis imposed strict rules on Jews, restricting the places they could visit, the shops they could use and even the schools they went to. Anne&#8217;s father lost his company, as Jewish people were no longer allowed to run their own businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Anne Frank&#8217;s house<\/h2>\n<p>In <strong>1942<\/strong>, the Nazis wanted to take Anne&#8217;s elder sister, <strong>Margot<\/strong>, to Germany, but her family refused to be separated and went into hiding. Anne&#8217;s father had spent several months preparing a hiding place, in the backhouse of his company at Prinsengracht 263. Anne later named it the &#8216;<strong>Secret Annex&#8217;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Secret Annex was above the warehouse. The entrance to the Annex was later hidden behind a bookcase. Anne&#8217;s father, <strong>Otto Frank<\/strong>, enlisted help from four of his employees who worked at the office and who became known as &#8216;<strong>the helpers<\/strong>&#8216; \u2014 Miep Gies, Bep Voskuijl, Johannes Kleiman and Victor Krugler. The helpers brought the family food, clothing and other supplies while they were in hiding. The people working in the warehouse didn&#8217;t know about the people in hiding, except for Johannes Voskuijl, Bep&#8217;s father, who made the book case.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28021\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28021\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28021 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anne-Frank-facts-2.jpg\" alt=\"Anne Frank facts\" width=\"635\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anne-Frank-facts-2.jpg 635w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anne-Frank-facts-2-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Anne&#8217;s father, Otto, (middle) pictured with the four helpers who brought the family supplies while they were in hiding, in 1945.

She also wrote about being in hiding, the fears and difficulties, and how she longed to go outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: left;\">&#8220;Footsteps in the house, the private office, the kitchen, then&#8230; on the staircase.

For example, they weren&#8217;t allowed to flush the toilet during the day in case the warehouse workers heard them, and Anne was only rarely allowed to open a window. She could never go outside, either.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How did Anne Frank die?<\/h2>\n<p>On <strong>4th August 1944<\/strong>, the Nazis raided the Prinsengracht 263 and found the hiding place. They took the 8 people in hiding to <strong>Westerbork <\/strong>&#8211; a camp that held Jewish people and others captive &#8211; in Holland. A month later, they were sent to <strong>Auschwitz<\/strong>, a larger concentration camp* in Poland. Men and women were separated. Eventually, Anne and her sister Margot were separated from their mother and sent to another concentration camp <strong>Bergen-Belsen<\/strong>, on a crowded train.<\/p>\n<p>Conditions at the camp were extremely poor. It was cold and wet, there was little food to eat and disease was common. Anne and Margot both died at the camp in February 1945 \u2014 just a few months before the end of World War II. It is believed that they died of a disease called typhus.<\/p>\n<p>Anne and Margot&#8217;s mother, Edith, also died at Auschwitz. Their father Otto was the only survivor of the eight people in hiding in the Secret Annex.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Anne Frank&#8217;s story<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28023\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anne-Frank-facts-4.jpg\" alt=\"Anne Frank facts\" width=\"635\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anne-Frank-facts-4.jpg 635w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anne-Frank-facts-4-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anne&#8217;s diary was saved by one of the helpers, Miep. When Anne&#8217;s father Otto &#8211; the only surviving member of the Frank family &#8211; returned to Amsterdam at the end of the war, he received his daughter&#8217;s diary from Miep, at the day he heard that Anne and Margot died in Bergen-Belsen. He started to read Anne&#8217;s diary and published it, making Anne&#8217;s dream of becoming a writer a reality. The diary was published in 1947, titled: <em><strong>The Secret Annex<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Since its publication, Anne Frank&#8217;s diary has sold millions of copies around the world and has been translated into more than <strong>70 languages<\/strong>. It remains an important account of the treatment that Jewish people suffered at the hands of the Nazis. Otto hoped that his daughter&#8217;s diary would educate readers on the dangers of hatred against others, prejudice and discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>In 1960, with the help of Otto, the former hiding place opened its doors as a museum, named the <em>Anne Frank House.<\/em> Each year, it is visited by more than 1.2 million people from around the world, wanting to learn more about Anne Frank&#8217;s life story.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>*The Jews are people born into a Jewish family or practice the religion of Judaism.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6><strong>*The Nazis were a group of people who followed the ideas of a German leader named Adolf Hitler.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6><strong>*Concentration camps were places where Nazis held Jews and others.
