Answer: Anne Frank

It took the discovery of the diary of a teenager (Anne Frank -1929-1945), that sadly enabled her to gain fame posthumously. The diary documented her life with her family, which were in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands during 1942-1944. Sadly, she died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp only months before the camp was liberated by Allied forces in April 1945. Anne, her mother, Edith and sister Margot, all perished in concentration camps.

Her father, Otto Frank, survived his ordeal in Auschwitz concentration camp and when he returned to Amsterdam came across his daughter's diary.

Her story has been adapted to film.
