The diary of Anne Frank ends today, in 1944.

Epilogue:

Anne's diary ends here. On August 4, 1944, the Grand Polizei made a raid on the “Secret Annexe”. All the occupants, together with Kraler and Koophuis, were arrested and sent to German and Dutch concentration camps.

Thr “Secret Annexe” was plundered by the Gestapo. Among a pile of old books, magazines, amd newspapers which were left lying on the floor, Miep and Elli found Anne's diary. Apart from a very few passages, which are of little interest to the reader, the original text has been printed.

Of all the occupants of the “Secret Annexe”, Anne's father alone returned. Kraler and Koophuis, who withstood the hardships of the Dutch camp, were able to go home to their families.

In March 1945, two months before the liberation of Holland, Anne died in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen.
