The story of Anna Frank
"I keep my ideals,because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart!" This was only one of the numerous wise sayings a little Jewish girl named Anne Frank wrote on her personal diary during World War II.
Anne was only 13 when she received the diary from her parents as a birthday present.Little did they know that this diary would someday be worldwide known and translated to more than 60 different languages,or that Anne would become one of the most famous women on earth.Although she was born in Frankfurt,Anne and her family were unfortunately persecuted by Nazis in 1930's and were forced to leave the country,as it had been conquered.
