Background（背景）
This is a true story. It took place in
Amsterdam, Netherlands in the early
1940s after the German Nazis had
occupied(占领） most of Europe. The
Nazi Party ruled Germany from 1933
to 1945. One of their key policies（政
策） was to kill all the Jews in Europe.
If any persons known to be Jews were
found, they would be sent to
concentration camps（集中营) farther
east, mostly in Poland. Families were
separated and transported in trains.
For many days, they went without
food, water, sanitation or fresh air.
To avoid this terrible fate, some
Jewish families went into hiding, often
with the help of non-Jewish friends.
This diary was written during the
time when Anne and her family
moved to escape from being killed by
Nazis.
