Anne Frank was born into a Jewish family in Frankfurt in 1929. At the time, Hitler was gaining sympathisers across Germany by exploiting the country's latent anti-Semitism. As a result, she moved to Amsterdam with her parents and sister in 1933 and quickly felt at home.
Unfortunately, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands on 10 May 1940. Gradually, the Nazis took away more and more rights from the Jews until, in July 1942, they began to send them to concentration camps.
