In the epoch in which the Germany Nazi of Hitler was found in their greater boom and committed horrendous and condenables atrocities in Europe, a Jewish girl of so alone 14 years of age, wrote their newspaper without being imagined that a day its crude oil and arduous experiences expressed on paper would be shared with the entire world.

At age four, Ana and their family they move to Holland escaping from the Nazis that had risen to the power that same year, that is to say, 1933. Once in Ámsterdam, (to see hotels in Amsterdam) lived in relative harmony during some years, until in 1940 the Nazis they arrive at Holland and a new pursuit of innocent people is initiated. This pursuit motivates in the first instance to that the father of Ana, Otto Frank move its business of called spices Opekta, from the 400 of the Street Singel to the 263 of the Street Prinsengracht, that at the same time would be converted also in the refuge of the family and years later to the present time in a very visited museum.

As it was typical in the houses of the city of Ámsterdam of that epoch, the dwelling was composed for two zones, an ahead and the other behind, to which they called him “achterhuis”. Otto Frank, sensing the catastrophe that approached, began to condition this back zone becoming a possible refuge in case the Germans wanted to carry them to him to the fields of aniquilamiento. According to account the Newspaper of Ana, this occurred July 6, the year 1942 and they remained hidden by an interim of two years, along with other friends of the family.


During this time, the neighbors reached food and all that is needed for their subsistence, being risked to to be imprisoned or you died. Ana had as main hobby, the writing of its newspaper in which reflected the fear and uncertainty that felt a girl that became adolescent in the middle of a bloody massacre.

One of its neighbors went who alerted to the Gestapo and finally they discovered their hideout August 4, 1944. The entire family was transferred to the provisional field of Westerbook, from there to Auschwitz-Birkenau and then to Sobibor, in Poland. The mother was the first one in dying. He happened in Auschwitz. In December of 1944, the sisters Frank are transferred to the field of concentration Bergen Belsen and they die of typhoid 4 months after to have arrived. After a month, the field of concentration is freed for the allies. The only survivor was Otto Frank, who published the newspaper of Ana -just as she had wanted-, he fought for maintaining his old house and he became a museum it that receives 1 million People yearly.
