Anne Frank Quotes
A collection of quotes by Anne Frank.
Anne Frank was a Jewish girl born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. She is remembered as one of the most widely known victims of the Holocaust. At the age of 13, Anne and her family fled to Amsterdam to escape the rising persecution of Jews in Germany. In hiding, she kept a diary which has become one of the most significant and powerful accounts of the Holocaust.
Anne and her family, along with four others, lived in a secret annex hidden within her father's office building. They remained concealed there for over two years until their discovery and subsequent capture by the Nazis in August 1944. During this time, under difficult circumstances, Anne chronicled her experiences, dreams, fears, and reflections in her diary, which she addressed to an imaginary friend named Kitty.
After their capture, Anne and her family were sent to various concentration camps. Sadly, Anne died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in early 1945, just a few weeks before its liberation by British forces. Anne's father, Otto Frank, was the only survivor from the annex and preserved Anne's diary, publishing it in 1947.
Anne Frank's diary, titled "The Diary of a Young Girl," became known worldwide, shedding light on the human experience during the Holocaust and inspiring millions with its message of hope, resilience, and the power of the written word. Today, Anne Frank is remembered as a symbol of courage and resilience in the face of unspeakable adversity.
