How long did Anne Frank hide from the Nazi persecution during WW II?

Born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, Anne Frank lived in Amsterdam with her family during World War II. Fleeing Nazi persecution of Jews, the family went into hiding for twenty five (25) months. During this time, Frank wrote about her experiences and wishes. She was 15 when the family was found and sent to the Nazi camps, where she died. Her work, The Diary of Anne Frank, has gone on to be read by several million people.

The Franks were a typical upper middle-class German-Jewish family living in a quiet, religiously diverse neighborhood near the outskirts of Frankfurt. However, Anne Frank was born on the eve of dramatic changes in German society. These changes would soon disrupt her family's happy, tranquil life as well as the lives of all other German Jews.

Anne Frank's Diary is not a novel or a tale of the imagination. It is the diary kept by a young Jewish girl who for two years was forced to remain in hiding during World War II to escape the Nazis hostility and ill-treatment based on race and religious beliefs.
