Over 75 years after her death, Anne Frank is still inspiring millions around the globe. The story of how she and her family hid from the Nazis during the Second World War and the diary she kept throughout their concealment has made Anne Frank one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. She perished as a prisoner in 1945 at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Her legacy, however, has endured, and today the young teenager's memoirs from her two years in hiding live on forever as testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit.
