Fern's Biography

Anne Frank.

How would you like being seen taking a step outside was a step towards death? Jews lives were ordinary. They played with their toys played with their friends; they would ride their bikes and go to the seaside. Until one man ruined all Jews lives. World War II was death to a lot of people but to Jews it was worse than death.

Anne Frank was one of those Jews. For the first five years of Anne Frank’s life she didn’t expect anything horrible to happen she lived in good care of her parents (Otto & Edith Frank) and her sister Margot, they lived in an apartment on the outskirts of Frankfurt.

In the year of 1933 everything went downwards because of the Nazis & Hitler, took seizure of power, killing everyone that in their view wasn’t the fitting in as the perfect race. It was then that Otto Frank fled to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where he had business connections, soon after the rest of the family followed Otto, with Anne being the last of her family to arrive in February 1934 after staying with her grandparents in Aachen. When Anne Frank arrived she found her family living and hiding in a deserted attic with four other Jews known to the Frank family, they stayed in the attic for two years.

For Anne’s thirteen Birthdays she was given a diary (that she named kitty) which from then on she wrote in everyday and it became Anne’s best friend that she told everything. She had her diary while the hiding away in the attic. After two years of hiding the feared Nazis found all who was hiding in the attic. They were then all led to a Jew concentration camp otherwise known as a Jews path to death.

While in the concentration camp Anne caught Typhus an soon died along with her sister Margot, their mother died of starvation and their father was the only one of the family to survive. He then helped Anne’s diary get published by editing it. All of those horrible things happened because one man was the biggest threat to a lot of people. But even now that Anne Frank isn’t alive she’s still with us through words.
