Annelies Marie Frank, called Anne for short, was born on June 12, 1929. She lived with her

mother Edith, father Otto and older sister Margot. They lived in Frankfurt am Main,

Germany, where Otto's family had lived for generations. The Frank family was Jewish, and it

was becoming harder to be Jewish in Germany. Adolf Hitler blamed Jewish people and other

minorities for the country's bad economy. He used propaganda in the press, radio, art, film

and theater to spread his message of anti-Semitism. When Hitler rose to power in 1933, the

Franks moved to Amsterdam, Holland, to escape his anti-Jewish laws.
