Her full name was Annelies Marie Frank. Anne and her family moved to the Netherlands in 1933 after the Nazis began to persecute Jews . In 1942, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, the family hid in a secret annex behind the Amsterdam office and warehouse of her father’s food products business. Anne recorded her experiences in a diary. Two years later, the family was betrayed and arrested. Anne died of typhus in the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in February or March 1945. Her diary was published in 1947, and later was made into a play and a film, both called The Diary of Anne Frank. See also Diary of Anne Frank .
