Anne's Life Timeline
Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, into a Jewish family. In 1933, her family moved to Amsterdam to escape the rise of the Nazi regime. Anne's early life was marked by the challenges of being a Jewish girl in a time of increasing anti-Semitism, but she found solace in writing and began to keep a diary at a young age.

Her father Otto Frank had the diary published after her death as 'The Diary of a Young Girl' in 1947, and it has since become one of the most important works of literature from the Holocaust era.
