| Jewish diarist and concentration camp victim, born in Frankfurt, WC Germany. Her family fled from the Nazis to The Netherlands in 1933, and after the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands she hid with her family and four others in a sealed-off office flat in Amsterdam from 1942 until they were betrayed in 1944. She died in Belsen concentration camp. The lively, moving diary she kept during her concealment was published under the title Het achterhuis by her father, the only Frank survivor, in 1947, dramatized, translated into fifty languages, and filmed, and and she has become a symbol of past suffering under the Nazis. The flat where the family hid, at 263 Prinsengracht, is now the Anne Frank-museum. |
