Anne Frank(1929-1945)
- Writer
Born in Germany in 1929 and raised and raised in Germany and Amsterdam. In 1942, shortly after receiving a diary for her 13th birthday, she and her family were forced to go into hiding to escape Hitler's persecution of the Jews. Hiding with another family and a dentist in an annex behind the building in which her father worked, Anne recorded their lives in her diary almost daily. In addition, she recorded her fights with her mother, her budding relationship with the other family's son, and her own maturation. In 1944, the eight people were discovered and arrested by the Gestapo. They were separated and put in concentration camps. At age 15, Anne died there in March, 1945. Her mother and sister, as well as the other people living with them, also died. Only her father survived; on his return home, he found her diary untouched and had it published in 1947. It was an immediate success, as millions of readers were touched by her indomitable spirit in the face of such chaos. The diary is famous even to this day and was the inspiration for the Broadway play "The Diary of Anne Frank" in 1955. The play was adapted by first time in Le journal d'Anne Frank (1959), followed by Le journal d'Anne Frank (1999), Anne no nikki (1995) and Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank (2016). It inspired four TV movies, Dagboek van Anne Frank (1962), Het dagboek van Anne Frank (1985), The Diary of Anne Frank (1967) and The Diary of Anne Frank (1980). The diary also inspired the mini series The Diary of Anne Frank (1987), Journal d'Anne Frank (1988), Anne Frank (2001) and The Diary of Anne Frank (2009). In addition, her life inspired Forget Me Not: The Anne Frank Story (1996) (about a Neo Nazi who back in time to meet Anne), Anne Frank, ma meilleure amie (2021) and Mon amie Anne Frank (2009) (about her relation with her close friend Hannah Goslar), Meine Tochter Anne Frank (2015) (about the relation between Anne and her father Otto) and Où est Anne Frank! (2021), based on the eponymous graphic novel, as well as the biographic documentary Anne Frank Remembered (1995) and Anne Frank, Then and Now (2014).
