Anne Frank (June 12 1929 – c. March 1945) was a Jewish girl who, along with her family and four other people, hid in rooms at the back of her father's Amsterdam company during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands. Helped by several trusted employees of the company, the group survived in the achterhuis for more than two years before they were betrayed.

Their father Otto Frank survived the war, and upon his return to Amsterdam was given the diary his daughter had kept during their period of confinement. The diary was first published in 1947, and has become a widely read work, recognised both for its historical value as a document of the Holocaust, as well as for the high quality of writing displayed by so young an author.
