Her parents are Otto and Edith
and she has one sister, Margot
The Frank family is Jewish
The economic crisis is causing a lot of social unrest in Germany
resulting in the rise of Adolf Hitler's nazi party

and discrimination against the Jews and crisis
Otto and Edith worried about the rise of Nazi party.
They decide to move to the Netherlands
Margot and Anne also arrived in Amsterdam
In Amsterdam, Anne attends to Montessori school
her two best friends are Sanne and Hanneli
But then, in May 1940 the German army invade The netherlands
The nazies occupy large part of it
and start to discriminate against Jews everywhere
Anne and Margot have to switch to separate Jewish schools
One restriction is followed by another
For her 13th birthday Anne receives a diary
This diary will become very important to her
Suddenly on the 5th of July 1942
a letter arrives ordering Margot to leave for a nazi labour camp
Otto and Edith have made secret colaborations to go into a hiding
Where would we go into a hiding?- Anne wonders
one of the first thing she packs is her diary
Wearing as many clothes as possible
the Franks family leave their house
The hiding place is the annex of the office of Anne's father
Otto and Anne tidy up the annex
Anne brightens up her room by sticking images to the wall
the people in hiding are helped by Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman, Miep Gies, and Bep Voskuijl
who all work in Otto's company
The Frank family is soon joined by three other people
Hermann and Auguste Van pels and their son Peter
Anne also welcomes Fritz Pfeffer
Fritz brings bad news
all those deportations in her diary Anne writes about life in the annex
about the arguments, which can be fierce, particularly between her and her mother
and also with Fritz there are never ending disagreements
Anne writes about her nightmares
and the fear of all in the annex to be discovered
In the second year of hiding Anne and Pete fall in love
on the 4th of August something terrible happens
They have been betrayed. They are arrested
