Franks' in hiding.

The Franks went into hiding in a secret apartment behind her fathers business in Amsterdam in 1942.

Miep Gies, Otto Franks secretary, help hide the Franks and gather them food rations. A bookshelf hid the door to the apartment (right).

In 1944, the Franks were discovered and sent to different concentration camps; only Anne's father survived.

Anne's diary of her and her family's time in hiding was first published in 1947.

The building home to the Secret Annex opened to the public as a museum devoted to the life of Anne Frank, in 1960. That is where her original diary is.

Her diary has been translated into almost 70 different languages and is one of the most widely read accounts of the Holocaust.
