Nazi seize power in 1933Otto, her father, went to Amsterdam to

escapeThe rest of the family soon followed

Germans occupied Amsterdam in 1940In 1942, Germans began to concentrate Jews

at Westerbork, and many other concentration camps.

Nazi Take Control

Otto Frank had taken his family into hiding after Nazi groups took control.

This hiding place was where Anne started her diary.

The secret attic apartment was where the family spent a couple of years in hiding, Anne referred to this hiding place as the “Secret Annex”

Friends of the Franks smuggled food in risk of their own lives to help the family.

This showed that during this time, it was a very harsh, and dangerous situation.

Going into Hiding…

The Hiding PlaceAnne Writes, "The

Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.“

The annex was hidden behind a movable bookshelf.

Frank’s Found!The Frank family

were soon found in the annex.

August 4, 1944They were arrested

because they did not go to the concentration camps voluntarily

They were soon deported to Auschwitz

The Holocaust was a crude time.Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, poles, political

opponents, and the mentally ill were all targeted during the Holocaust.

Germans felt they were the inferior raceGermans killed around 2 out of 3 European JewsThere were many people who denied the

Holocaust ever occurred The fact of the matter was is that it happened

and Anne Frank’s diary depicted some of the horrors of this time.
