Frank, Anne (1929–1945), a German-Jewish girl who died in a concentration camp in World War II. She moved from Germany to the Netherlands with her family in 1933. Her diary presents a vivid picture of herself, family, and friends from the time they went into hiding in Amsterdam in 1942 to just before their capture by the Nazis in 1944. It was published in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and was later dramatized as The Diary of Anne Frank.
