Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany, the second daughter of Otto Heinrich Frank (May 12, 1889 August 19, 1980) and Edith Holländer (January 16, 1900January 6, 1945).

Margot demonstrated ability in arithmetic, and Anne showed aptitude for reading and writing. Her friend Hannah Goslar later recalled that from early childhood, Anne Frank...
