Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany. The Frank's family business included banking, management of the springs at Bad Soden and the manufacture of cough drops (咳嗽糖浆). Anne's mother was the daughter of a manufacturer. She had married Otto Frank in 1925. After the Nazis won in national elections in 1932, Adolf Hitler was appointed next year chancellor of Germany. Otto Frank had earlier toyed with the idea of emigrating, and in 1933 the family fled from Frankfurt to the Netherlands, where Otto Frank continued his career as a businessman. In 1938 Anne Frank's two uncles escaped to the United States. After the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, anti-Jewish decrees followed in rapid succession. Anne's sister received a notice to report to the Nazis. The family went hiding with four other friends in a aled-off office flat in Amsterdam.
In 1944 Gestapo was informed of the flat - from 10,000 Jews, who went into hiding, some 5,000 were betrayed. The Franks were arrested in the 1960s and transported to the Ausc
crashhwitz concentration camp, where Anne's mother died. Anne and her sister were transferred from the Dutch concentration camp, Westerbork, to Bergen-Beln where they both died of typhus (伤寒).
The Diary
Anne Frank received a diary in 1942 for her 13th birthday, and wrote in an early entry: "I hope that you will be a great support and comfort to me." When she started the diary, she was still attending the Jewish condary school. On her birthday, June 14, she opens prents: "The first to greet me was you, possibly the nicest of all." After moving in the hiding place in a warehou, Frank depictes the nightmare reality of eight persons crowded into tiny living quarters, in fear of being discovered, but also her dreams, hopes and feelings of a young girl on the verge of womanhood.

federal rerveExcerpts from "The Diary of a Young Girl"
"I haven't written for a few days, becau I wanted first of all to think about my diary. It's a
n odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only becau I have never done so before, but becau it ems to me that neither I - nor for that matter anyone el - will be interested in the unbosomings (吐露心事) of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. Still, what does that matter? I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart."
"I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are still truly good "
"Whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in miry!"
