To date, Anne Frank is remembered with great admiration due to her contribution in recording one of the most prominent times in history. Born on June 12, 1929, in the German city of Frankfurt am Main, Frank was a young Jewish girl. She was born to Otto and Edith Frank and had an elder sister, Margot. Frank was born during the time when Germany was facing severe unemployment and poverty issues. It was also the time when Adolf Hitler and his party were growing strong and gaining a large number of supporters. Hitler is popular for instigating hate against the Jews and subjecting them to gruesome injustices. He blamed them for all the problems in the country.
Life of Anne Frank
Given the rising hatred against the Jews and poor economic conditions, the Frank family moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands. Here, Frank’s father founded a company that traded in pectin, a gelling agent for making jam. After moving here, Frank felt at home. Besides making new friends and learning their language, she also started attending a Dutch school near her home.
