Annelies Marie Frank, known in Spanish as Ana Frank (Frankfurt am Main, June 12, 1929-Bergen-Belsen, February or March 1945), was a German girl of Jewish descent, globally known thanks to The Diary of Anne Frank, the publication of her personal diary in which she recorded the nearly two and a half years she spent hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam with her family and four other people during World War II
Once they were discovered in their hiding place, Anne and her family were captured and taken to different German concentration camps. The only survivor of the eight hidden was Otto Frank, her father. Anne was sent to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz on September 2, 1944, and later to Bergen-Belsen, where she died of typhus around mid-February 1945, about two months before the camp was liberated. In 1947, just two years after the war ended, her father published the diary under the title The Secret Annex (in Dutch, Het Achterhuis)
