story

The story begins with Anne Frank, the daughter of a businessman who lived a peaceful life in Frankfurt, Germany. However, due to the Nazi policy of expelling the Jews, Anne and her family were forced to emigrate to Amsterdam, Netherlands. Furthermore, when Anne's older sister Margot was ordered to report to a concentration camp, the family was forced to live in hiding. Despite living in fear of the Gestapo and air raids, Anne kept a diary, wrote fairy tales, and developed a deep love for Peter, who was in the same situation. However, the Gestapo reached their hiding place, and Anne was sent to a concentration camp, losing her life at just 15 years old.
