The story of Anne Frank has been portrayed many times since her diary was first published in the 1940s with some versions of her story ranking higher than others. Born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1929, Annelies Marie Frank was a young Jewish girl who kept a diary while she was in hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in what she called The Secret Annex. She and her family were eventually discovered in August 1944, and Anne later died with her sister Margot in the Bergen Belsen concentration camp in early 1945 (via Anne Frank House).
