Anne Frank is the most famous girl who ever lived in Amsterdam. And that is mainly due to her diary in which she wrote about her life while hiding during the Second World War. The Germans who occupied the Netherlands captured Jewish people and took them to concentration camps in Eastern Europe. Most did not survive. In order not to fall into the hands of the Germans, Anne hid with her father, mother and sister and another Jewish family in the back house (the Achterhuis) at 263 Prinsengracht, which was only accessible through a secret entrance behind a bookcase. Sadly, on August 4, 1944, however, the Germans found them. Anne and her family were arrested and taken away. Anne did not survive the war. Her diary however became world famous and with that her story about her experiences and dreams of being a movie star in Hollywood. •
