After the Nazis came to power, life for the Frank family became increasingly difficult. The Nazis passed laws that discriminated against Jews, and they began to persecute them. In 1940, the Frank family was forced to go into hiding in Amsterdam, Netherlands. They lived in a secret annex behind Otto Frank's business for two years.

During her time in hiding, Anne wrote a diary about her experiences. She wrote about her daily life, her hopes and dreams, and her fears. Anne's diary is a powerful and moving account of the Holocaust, and it has been translated into more than 60 languages.

On August 4, 1944, the Frank family was betrayed and arrested by the Nazis. They were taken to Auschwitz concentration camp, where Edith and Margot Frank died. Anne and her sister, Margot, were later transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where Anne died in March 1945.

Anne Frank's diary was discovered after the war by her father, Otto. Otto published the diary in 1947, and it quickly became a bestseller. Anne's story has touched the hearts of millions of people around the world, and it continues to be a reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of tolerance and understanding.

The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam is a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of Anne Frank. The museum is located in the secret annex where the Frank family hid from the Nazis. Visitors to the museum can learn about Anne's life and her diary, and they can see the rooms where she and her family lived.

Anne Frank's legacy is one of hope and courage. Her diary is a reminder of the horrors of war, but it is also a testament to the human spirit. Anne's story continues to inspire people around the world, and it is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
