Although Anne Frank was Jewish, she was born in Germany.
Jewish
At the time Anne died in 1945 in Nazi Germany, she was a "stateless person." When the Frank family left Germany in 1933 and settled in the Netherlands, they were considered by the Dutch government to be foreign, and were not granted Dutch citizenship. When the Nazis invaded the Netherlands, they declared all Jews not born in the Netherlands to be "stateless persons." And in fact, the Nazis declared that even native born Dutch Jews to be stateless once they were deported from the Netherlands. The status of "stateless" remained with the Frank family until their deportation, and until the death of Anne, Margot, and their mother, Edith. In her diary, Anne expresses the desire to become a Dutch citizen after the war.
