work camp so they decided to hide in the attic of her father’s workplace. They shared the small space
with another family for two years. They survived thanks to some friends who regularly sent them food.

Unfortunately, in August 1944, German security police discovered them and arrested its occupants.
Anne was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Anne died of typhus in March 1945. Her diary
