Anne Frank

Died in 1945

Annelies Marie Frank was born in Frankfurt am Main on 12 June 1929, the younger daughter of Otto Frank, a businessman, and Edith Holländer. In 1933, her Jewish family settled in Amsterdam, and in 1941 the occupier forced her to leave the public school for the Jewish lyceum. In hiding from July 1942, arrested on 4 August 1944, she was deported to Westerbork and then to Auschwitz, and transferred with her sister Margot to Bergen-Belsen, where she died of typhus in early 1945, at fifteen; only her father survived.
