A Museum for Anne Frank
1 During World War II, the Nazi Party, the ruling party in Germany at the time, rounded up Jews throughout Europe and sent them to concentration or labor camps. Targeted people tried to hide, including Anne Frank, her family, and several friends, who hid in the attic of a building in Amsterdam.
