She is Anne Frank, who wrote a diary while she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years in a house in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands.

The family were forced to hide because they were German Jews, but in 1944 they were found by the Security Police and Anne and her sister Margot were sent to the Bergen Belsen concentration camp where they both died just one month before the camp was liberated at the end of the war.

Anne’s diaries were found and returned to her father Otto, who had survived the war, and in 1947 he had them published in a book called The diary of a young girl.

The book was translated into over seventy languages and became one of the most widely-read books of the twentieth century, and although six million Jews died in the Holocaust, for millions of people it was Anne who became the face of the story.
