Otto Frank
"For me, it was a revelation. There, was revealed a completely different Anne to the child that I had lost. I had no idea of the depths of her thoughts and feelings"
Otto Heinrich Frank was born on May 12, 1889, in Frankfurt, Germany. His wife was Edith Frank, and he had two daughters, Anne Frank, and Margot Frank. When the Frank family were notified that the Nazi's were coming to take them from their homes, Otto Frank put his business into the hands of Victor Kugler and Johannes Kleiman, or Mr. Koophius. He hid with his family in a secret annex for 25 months, until their location was discovered. Throughout hiding in the annex, Otto Frank lived with 7 other people, 3 of which were his own family. After the family was discovered hiding in the annex, they were sent to the concentration camp Auschwitz. The only survivor of the eight hiding in the annex was Otto Frank. After the war, when Otto returned to the annex, he found Anne Frank's diary, and he decided to continue her legacy by publishing it as a book, The Diary of Anne Frank.
