There're several biographic remarks about Anne Frank :nnelies Marie Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Her parents were Otto and Edith Frank. For the first five years of her life, Anne lived with her parents and Margot, her older sister, in an apartment on the outskirts of Frankfurt. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Otto Frank fled to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, where he had business contacts. The rest of the Frank family soon followed, Anne being the last to arrive in February 1934 because she had stayed with her grandparents in Aachen. The fate of the Franks and other Amsterdam Jews was marked by the German occupation of the city. City, which began in May 1940. In early 1942, the Germans began preparations to deport Jews from the Netherlands to killing centers in the east. At that time, they demanded that all Dutch Jews be concentrated in Amsterdam. They also decided to intern all non-Dutch Jews in the Westerbork transit camp. From Westerbork, German officials deported Jews to the killing centers at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Sobibor in German-occupied Poland. The first deportation transport left Westerbork on July 15, 1942, bound for Auschwitz-Birkenau. These deportations and the intensification of anti-Semitic measures alarmed many Jews in the Netherlands, among whom were the Franks. Anne and her family decided to go into hiding in the first 15 days of July 1942. They were later joined by four other Jews: Hermann, Auguste and Peter van Pels, as well as Fritz Pfeffer. For two years, they all lived in a secret apartment at 263 Prinsengracht. The apartment was behind the commercial offices where Otto Frank had worked as a company manager. In her diary, Ana refers to the hideout as the "secret annex". Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler, Johan Voskuijl, Bep Voskuijl, Jan Gies and Miep Gies, who were friends and colleagues of Otto Frank, helped set up the hideout and smuggled food and clothing to the Franks, risking their own lives. During the time they were in hiding, Ana kept a journal where she wrote about her fears, hopes, and experiences. Then there takes place Arrest and deportation. On August 4, 1944, the German SS and police discovered the hideout. Authorities had long been believed to have acted on a tip from an anonymous Dutchman, but a more recent theory found that the Germans discovered the hideout by chance while investigating reports of illegal work being done in the house and they committed fraud with the ration coupons.
