_________________________
Annelies Marie Frank was born on 12th June
1929 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Her father was Otto and her mother was
Edith. She had an older sister called Margot.
Anne’s family was ‘liberal Jews’. They didn’t
live in a Jewish-only community and they
didn’t follow all the Jewish customs.
__________________________
After the elections in Germany of 1933,
which were won by the Nazi Party (led by Adolf
Hitler), the Franks moved to Amsterdam in order to escape the anti-Jewish feelings that
were being promoted by the Nazis.
In Amsterdam, Anne started to develop a love of reading and writing.
In May 1940, the Netherlands was invaded by Germany. Laws were made to discriminate
against the Jewish population. Anne and her sister had to leave the school they were
attending and transfer to a Jewish-only school. Anne’s father, Otto, had to transfer his shares
in the companies he owned to Johannes Kleiman (a non-Jewish Dutch citizen), to avoid
having his businesses confiscated.

help the family survive.

the outside world.
On 13th July the Franks were joined in their hiding place by the Van Pels family.
On 4th August 1944 the Franks hiding place was discovered by German police. Nobody
knows how the police got the information about the hiding place.
