Anne Frank was born June 12, 1929. For her thirteenth birthday, she received a diary that would become her legacy.

In 1942, escaping Nazi persecution, Anne Frank’s family was forced into hiding. Her family hid for two years in different rooms of her father’s office building before being caught. Her family of four was joined by four more people, and before long close quarters began to get to them. But still, Anne had her studies and her diary to help get her through her days.
