Anne Frank: Her Life in Pictures, Some of Them Are Rare That You May Not Have Seen Before

Anne Frank (1929-1945) was a teen writer who went into hiding during World War Two to avoid the Nazis. She was one of over one million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. After her death, Anne becomes world famous because of her wartime diary "The Diary of a Young Girl" she wrote while in hiding.

“One day this terrible war will be over. The time will come when we will be people again and not just Jews! We can never be just Dutch, or just English, or whatever, we will always be Jews as well. But then, we'll want to be.” - April 9, 1944, an excerpt from "The Diary of Anne Frank."

We take a look at her life through pictures.
