Anne Frank was a young girl born in 1929 who had a German-Jewish blood. He and his family were forced into hiding for two years in a secret hideout to avoid the cruelty of Adolf Hitler, who seek to eliminate the Jewish ethnicity of the earth in the period of World War II, who at that time began invading the Netherlands in 1940.

Anne Frank’s hiding place was actually part of the office building where her father worked, which is behind the building on the banks of the canal. That’s where Anne Frank and her family (father, mother, brother), as well as four others, remained hidden from the years 1942 to 1944, until it was found in 1944 and sent to a concentration camp until death arrives.
