Ana Frank

Ana Frank

Annelies Marie Frank, known in Spanish as Anne Frank (Frankfurt am Main, June 12, 1929-Bergen-Belsen, February or March 1945), note was a German girl of Jewish descent, known worldwide thanks to the Diary of Anne Frank, the edition of his private diary, where he recorded the almost two and a half years that he spent in hiding, with his family and four other people, from the Nazis, in Amsterdam (Netherlands) during World War II.

Once they were discovered in her hiding place, Ana and her family were captured and taken to different German concentration camps. The only survivor of the eight in hiding was Otto Frank, her father. Ana Ella was sent to the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz on September 2, 1944, and later to Bergen-Belsen, where she died of typhus around mid-February 1945, about two months before the camp was released. In 1947, just two years after the war ended, her father published her diary under the title The Secret Annex (in Dutch, Het Achterhuis).
