Annelies Marie (Anne) Frank was a German-Dutch diarist of Jewish ancestry who was born on June 12, 1929. She became one of the most discussed Jewish Holocaust victims with the 1947 release of The Diary of a Young Girl, in which she describes her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II. It is one of the most well-known books in the world and has inspired countless plays and films. A typhus outbreak swept across the camp in early 1945, killing 17,000 inmates. Other infections, such as typhoid fever, were widespread. The precise cause of Anne's death could not be determined due to the chaotic circumstances.
