During the 1930's and 1940's the German Nazis, government of that time, were persecuting people of Jewish faith and descent. The Nazis periodically rounded up Jews, Poles, homosexuals, intellectuals, Gypsies and anyone who disagreed with Hitler, and take them to concentration camps in an effort to rid the world of them. The Jews were the biggest target, at the end of this persecution known as the Holocaust (meaning total burn) 6 million Jews had died along with another 5-6 million people.
The Franks were Jewish. When Margot, Anne Frank's sister, turned 16, she received a letter from the Nazis that required her to immediately turn herself into the Gestapo and go to a concentration camp. Frightened and desperate to protect his family, Otto Frank moved the whole family moved into hiding in Amsterdam to prevent Margot and the rest of the family from being sent to those death camps. Their only other choice was to go the camps where they would die. In fact, about 2 yeas after they went into hiding, the Franks were found and sent to camps.

basically Anne Frank had to go into hiding as the Germans were rounding up the Jewsih people for deportation (towards concentration camps such as Auschwitz) where hundreds of thousands of jewish people lost their lives. Since Anne Frank's family was jewish, the only option of not being caught (since fleeing was near impossible) was to go into hiding alltogether. They nearly succeeded - but sadly near the end of the war they were betrayed and deported. Anne was special because her diary was later found and published. Because of her writing talents at an early age and her style of writing still appeals to many children. It's a true and a sad story with no happy Disney ending.
Anne Frank lived in the Netherlands in Amsterdam (on the Prinsengracht right next to the Westerkerk) which in Worldwar 2 was occupied by the German Army after the Dutch capitulated when the Germans bombed the hell out of Rotterdam. Her house (including the hiding place) is still there: it is now being used as a museum and as a cashcow by the organisation which exploits Anne's personal diary, not just for financial gain and political reasons, but also to educate children and grownups about the consequences of a war on a human scale.
