Annelies Marie Frank—or Anne Frank—died in 1945 at the hands of the Nazis in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Her plight engaged the world’s attention with the publication in 1947 of a diary she kept while she and her family were in hiding in Amsterdam, where they had fled the Nazis from their home in Frankfurt, Germany. This course re-discovers the grim facts and the extraordinary optimism of an all-too-short life and asks questions that beg answers since the rise and fall of Hitler.
