 * Anneliese Marie Frank was born in Frankfurt-am-Main. In the summer
 * The Frank family sought safety by concealing themselves in several rooms in Otto Frank's office building. With four other Jews, they lived in this "Secret Annex" from July 6, 1942, until August 4, 1944, when they were betrayed and arrested. Sent first to Westerbork, a transit camp in Drente, in the north of Holland, they were deported a few weeks later to Auschwitz, the major Nazi death camp in Poland. After a little less than two months in this camp, Anne and Margot were then sent to Bergen-Belsen, in northern Germany, where, disease-ridden and emaciated, they died sometime in the early spring of 1945. Of the eight Jews in hiding in the "Secret Annex," only Otto Frank survived.

French and German translations appeared in 1950, and an English translation followed in 1952. Since then, the diary has been translated into some 60 languages and circulated in perhaps as many as 25 million copies. A highly popular stage version, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, appeared in 1955, and a much acclaimed film version by famed director George Stevens followed in 1959.

 * When Anne was 4, the family moved to Amsterdam, and when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands the Franks, like other Jewish families, were increasingly restricted. In 1942--shortly after Anne received a diary for her 13th birthday--she, her sister Margot, her parents, and four others went into hiding in a secret annex behind her father's office. They survived there for two years until an anonymous phone caller disclosed their location to authorities. The group was sent first to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland, and then Margot and Anne were transported to Bergen-Belsen in Germany, where both died of typhus and starvation. Otto Frank, the only family member to survive, published Anne's diary in 1947
