An Overview…

A young Jewish girl named Anne Frank (1929-1945), her parents and older sister moved to the Netherlands from Germany after Adolf Hilter and the Nazis came to power there in 1933 and made life increasingly difficult for Jews.

In 1942, Frank and her family went into hiding in a secret apartment behind her father’s business in German-occupied Amsterdam.

A week after they had gone into hiding, the Franks were joined by Otto’s business associate Hermann van Pels (1898-1944), along with his wife Auguste (1900-45) and their son Peter (1926-45), who were also Jewish. 

In November 1942, the Franks and Van Pels were joined by Fritz Pfeffer (1889-1944),’ Jewish dentist.

The Franks and the other members were discovered On August 4, 1944, after 25 months in hiding, and sent to concentration camps; only Anne’s father survived.

Anne Frank’s diary of her family’s time in hiding, first published in 1947, has been translated into almost 70 languages and is one of the most widely read accounts of the Holocaust.
