Introduction
When Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, some Jews like Otto Frank, decided to take their families and leave the country to escape the Nazis violent anti-Semitism. The Frank family relocated to the Netherlands, where they thought they would be safe, but when Hitler started World War II in 1939, and then invaded and occupied the Netherlands in 1942, the Franks were once again at risk. To avoid being shipped off to a concentration camp and killed, the Frank family went into hiding with the help of some Dutch friends. Unfortunately, in 1944 the Nazis discovered the Franks and shipped them all off to concentration camps, where many of them died, including Anne Frank. This is Anne Franks diary, which she kept from 1942 to 1944. It is not only the story of a 13 year old girl, but the story of strength in the face of great evil. It is a story of hope and a testament to the human spirit and it continues to inspire people today.
