Anne Frank

Anne Frank embodies the triumph and strength of the human spirit. She and her family went into hiding in Holland during World War II when the persecution of Jews by Nazis increased. She kept a diary of her experiences and feelings during this time. After more than two years in hiding, the hiding place was revealed to the German police, who stormed in and arrested everyone. No one has ever learned who betrayed them. Anne and her family were sent to concentration camps. Anne did not survive, but her diary did. It was published in 1947, and since then it has helped us try to understand and learn from the horror of what millions of people experienced during the war.
