Who is Anne Frank?

Annelies Marie Frank, also known as Anne Frank, born on June 12th 1929, is one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her parents were Edith and Otto Frank, and her sister was Margot Betti Frank, who was born on 16th February 1926, who, according to Anne, was also keeping a diary, though we don’t have evidence of this.

But two things about her never changed, whilst in hiding, she was still a creative, talkative young girl.
