28 April 2013 Anne Frank Research Paper Annelies Marie Frank was born on June 12, 1929 to Edith and Otto Frank. Anne’s sister, Margot Betti Frank, was three years older. The Franks were German-Jews, which around the 1940’s was a very dangerous belief to have. For Anne’s thirteenth birthday she received a red and white checkered autograph album in which she used as her diary. Around this time the Holocaust was just beginning to really kick into high gears and extremes for the Jews.
The Franks fled Nazi Germany for the Netherlands in 1933 to avoid persecution. The way the Jews were being treated in the Netherlands was becoming very similar to the Jews harsh treatment when in Germany. This meant that darkness was near, deportation and death was coming soon. With the knowledge of knowing what was next the Franks began to organize a plan to go into hiding shortly before Anne’s 13th birthday. One day in July of 1942 Margot received a letter informing her that she was going to have to prepare to go to a workers camp. This changed the Franks plans immediately and caused them to go into hiding the very next few days. Their hiding place in which Anne called the secret Annex in her diary was located in the upper-back portion of Otto Frank’s business at 263 Prinsengracht. About a weeks time after the Franks got situated into their new hiding area, they were soon joined by another family named the van Pels also known as the van Daans in Anne’s published diary. “Last to arrive of the eight people that were to hide in the Secret Annex was the dentist Friedrich “Fritz” Pfeffer also known as (Albert Dussel in the diary)on November 16, 1942.” ()Anne’s Diary describes and talks about the differences between the seven other people and their difficulties within their living situation. Throughout the pages the ink in the diary words of fears, worries, questions, hopes and a young lady attempting to find herself regardless of what she had to face every morning she woke up or every night that she went to sleep. Anne in the matter of two years and one month showed a teenager growing wiser of her surrounding and hoping for a better future. The feeling of being misunderstood by the people around her never made Anne feel like it was time for her to be mean and rude, instead it gave her nothing but steam and drive that allowed Anne to better herself and continue to become the best person she felt that she could be. At thirteen years of age Anne Frank’s true life story has just began. Her story took the largest curve two years and one to two months later when she and the other seven that were in hiding with her was arrested in August of 194. At approximately around ten- thirty in the morning by a few S.S officers that received an anonymous tip from some unidentified Dutch about the whereabouts of the Secret Annex at 263 Prinsengracht. Everyone arrested were all then taken to the same place known as Westbork.

From June 12, 1942 to August 1944 Anne constantly wrote and expressed her emotions, thoughts, dreams, fears, worries and so forth in her diary for several years.
