In a house on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, 8 people in hiding are arrested.

One of them is Anne Frank.

Anne Frank is born in 1929, in Germany.

Her parents are Otto and Edith. And she has one sister, Margot.

The Frank family is Jewish.

The economic crisis is causing a lot of social unrest in Germany

resulting in the rise of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party.

In 1933, the Nazis come into power and discrimination against the Jews and Chrises.

Otto and Edith worried about the rise of the Nazi Party.

They decide to move to the Netherlands.

Margot and Anne also arrive in Amsterdam.

In Amsterdam, Anne attends the Montessori School.

Her two best friends are Summer and Hanneli.

But then, in May 1940, the German army invades the Netherlands.

The Nazis occupy large parts of Europe

and start to discriminate against Jews everywhere.

Anne and Margot have to switch to separate Jewish schools.

One restriction is followed by another.

For her 13th birthday, Anne receives a diary.

This diary will become very important to her.

Suddenly, on the 5th of July, 1942, a letter arrives,

ordering Margot to leave for a Nazi labor camp.

Otto and Edith have made secret preparations to go into hiding.

Where are we going to hiding? Anne wonders.

One of the first things she packs is her diary.

Wearing as many clothes as possible, the Frank family leave that house.

The hiding place is the annex at the office of Anne's father.

Otto and Anne tidy up the annex.

Anne brightens up her room by sticking images to the wall.

The people in hiding are helped by Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman, Miep Gies, and Bep Voskuijl.

Who all work in Otto's company.

The Frank family is soon joined by three other people.

Hermann and Auguste van Pels and their son Peter.

Anne also welcomes Fritz Pfeffer.

Fritz brings bad news. All those deportations.

In her diary, Anne writes about life in the annex about the arguments which can be fears

particularly between her and her mother and also with Fritz there are never ending disagreements.

Anne writes of her nightmares and the fear of all in the annex to be discovered.

In their second year of hiding, Anne and Peter fall in love.

On the 4th of August, something terrible happens.

They have been betrayed. They are arrested.
