In 1942, Otto Frank and his family went into hiding in a secret attic in a factory building in Amsterdam. His youngest daughter Anne passed her time writing, filling a diary and several notebooks with her innermost feelings, reflections of the world around her, daily activities, and dreams for her future. Though they evaded capture for over two years, the family was eventually discovered by the Nazis, arrested, and deported to concentration camps. After the war, Otto Frank was liberated from Auschwitz; he was the only survivor of the Frank family. When Otto returned to Amsterdam, family friend Miep Gies gave him Anne's diaries, which she had kept. N° de ref. del artículo AF001
