Anne Frank
Anne Frank, born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, is an iconic figure known for her diary, which has become a testament to the human spirit and a powerful symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. As a Jewish girl growing up during the Holocaust, Anne's life was tragically cut short, but her words have left an indelible mark on history. In 1933, Anne and her family fled Germany to escape the persecution of Jews under the Nazi regime, settling in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Tragically, Anne and her family were discovered by the Nazis in 1944 and deported to concentration camps. Anne perished at the young age of 15 in the Bergen-Belsen camp in early 1945, just weeks before its liberation.

Margot grew up in a loving family and enjoyed a relatively normal childhood until the rise of the Nazi regime. In 1933, her family made the difficult decision to leave Germany and seek refuge in Amsterdam, Netherlands, hoping to escape the escalating persecution of Jews. In Amsterdam, Margot continued her education and adapted to their new surroundings. However, their hopes for a peaceful life were shattered when the Nazi occupation intensified. In 1942, Margot and her family went into hiding in the Secret Annex, a concealed space behind her father's office building. For over two years, they lived in fear of discovery, relying on each other and the small group of people who helped sustain them during their confinement. Tragically, their hiding place was eventually discovered, leading to their arrest and deportation. Margot, along with her sister Anne and their parents, was transported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The exact circumstances of Margot's death remain unknown, but it is believed that she perished in early 1945, shortly before the camp's liberation. Margot's untimely death at the age of 18, along with the loss of her vibrant spirit and potential, serves as a heartbreaking testament to the millions of lives cut short during the Holocaust.

There, he continued his business endeavors while striving to provide a secure environment for his loved ones amid the growing uncertainty. Tragically, the Nazis occupied the Netherlands, and in 1942, Otto and his family went into hiding in the Secret Annex—a concealed space behind his office building. For over two years, they lived in seclusion alongside four other individuals, relying on Otto's resourcefulness and leadership to sustain their hope and unity. Following their discovery in 1944, Otto was separated from his family and endured the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Miraculously, he survived and was liberated in January 1945.
