Her secret thoughts while in hiding would one day pierce the conscience of the world. She was still a child when the Nazis rose to power in Germany and her family fled to Holland. In 1941 after the Nazis conquered Holland, the Frank family and four other Jews found refuge in a secret back room in an office building. Christian friends smuggled them food and supplies. Thus, they spent two years in a narrow and dark refuge. There, Anne wrote her famous diary, the diary of a young girl of rare sensitivity, who describes life in the shadow of death and expresses the mental anguish and humiliation she experienced.
