While I've never read the book, I do have some knowledge of it. The following is my best recollection. Anne Frank was a Jew living with her extended family in Holland/Netherlands. When Germany occupied the country in 1940, the Frank family was taken in by a Christian family and hidden. As I recall there were six or seven Franks. The hiding place was an attic room converted to living space. With rationing, food was scarce but the Christian family through a variety of means was able to keep the Franks alive. Obviously the conditions were difficult, with so many people living in a small space for a period of years. Anne Frank was about 12 years old when this ordeal began. She wrote a diary during her family's confinement. The hideout was secure until the summer of 1944, when they were betrayed and German soldiers came and arrested the Franks. They were split up, Anne going to, as I recall, the largest work camp of the Holocaust, Auschwitz. Here she contracted typhus (a disease caused by parasites that causes a fever) and died. I think one or two members of her family survived including her father. Anne's diary had been hidden in the attic and was not discovered, by accident, a few years after the war. Her father took the papers, edited them (mainly he removed sexual references, as his daughter was becoming muture as a young teen and made sexual remarks in the diary) and had them published. The book was a world wide best seller.
