Andrea Sola 2º Bachillerato EFL

Anne is the protagonist of this story. She and her family are living in Holland during the Second World War. They are hiding on the top floor of a building in Amsterdan, with another family. The Franks are a Jewish family and because of this they are hiding from the Germans, because the Nazis are arresting Jews and sending them away to die in concentration camps. Finally, after two years in the annexe they are discovered and killed, except for Anne´s father, who found and published Anne’s Diary. That is how we know the history of one of the thousands of Jewish people who suffered the horror of the Holocaust.
