Anne Frank

by Maizy P.

My name is Maizy, for the Biography Bistro I chose a good person, at least in my opinion, I chose Anne Frank. I chose this person because I think that what they did was good for the world to get to learn about.

Anne Frank’s birth and death date, Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, she died 1945 in Bergan-Belson concentration camp. Her family consisted of Her mother, father, and sister. Anne Frank’s family was Jewish. Her mother, Edith died before Anne. Anne died shortly after her sister Margot. Anne was born in Frankfurt Germany, she lived there for quite a while, then her family moved to the Netherlands where they lived in a secret annex behind a bookshelf.

The time period was the 30’s to 40’s. World war II had broken out, and the Nazi party took power. The Nazis were against Jewish people, black people, gypsies, and more. They made camps where people were “exterminated” and other camps where people just spent time in unsanitary places.

Anne Frank’s accomplishments were really unintentional! She had a diary that she used to explain how she felt and what was going on. She also told how hard it could be to get food and other things. Her diary was and still is really important to historians to learn more about World War II. She also said what is what like to live in a secret place where the entrance was behind a bookshelf.

Where Anne Frank lived there were five people who helped the Frank family to hide. They helped them get food, shelter, and protection. Their names were Johannas Kleiman, Miep Van Gies, Victor Kugler, Bep Voskuijl, and Johannas Hendrick Voskuijl. In later years, Anne Frank’s family was found by Germans, and were taken to camps. The theory is that one of the helpers gave them away, but it is still unknown who.

That is what I learned on Anne Frank for my research project.
