Anne Frank was born in the German city of Frankfurt am Main in 1929. Anne’s sister, Margot, was three years older. Because of the hatred of Jews, Anne's parents, Otto and Edith Frank, decide to move to Amsterdam. There, Otto founded a company that traded in pectin, a gelling agent for making jam.

On 1 September 1939, when Anne was 10 years old, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, and so the Second World War began. Not long after, on 10 May 1940, the Nazis also invaded the Netherlands. Her father lost his company, since Jews were no longer allowed to run their own businesses. All Jewish children, including Anne, had to go to separate Jewish schools.

She resisted by not giving in to the things the Nazis were ordering like the call - ups for the so called "labour - camps." She also documented the horrible things that were happening that not everyone knew. She used the situation that she and her family were in, and now we know more about this than we would have if she hadn't documented this.
