Anne Frank: The Jewish Teen Who Died in the Holocaust but Lives On in Her Diary

Anne Frank (June 12, 1929 – February or March 1945) was a German-born Dutch teenager who perished in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp just six months before the end of World War II. She is known for the diary she kept during the two years she — along with her parents, sister, and others — hid in an Amsterdam house.
 
The diary, which miraculously survived her discovery and arrest by the Nazis, has inspired millions around the world — both for her talent as a young writer and the depth of her humanity and optimism, even while in the most horrific of circumstances. It has been translated into 70 languages.

It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.” — The Diary of Anne Frank
