who were the franks?

Answer 1

"One of the largest (by some estimates as many as a million people) and most successful of the German tribes were the Franks. They was actually a confederation of tribes which, tired of being dumped on by other Germans and by the Romans, came together in the 3rd century AD and adopted the common name "Frank" (derived either from the word "Free" or "Spear") In the 4th century, many of the Franks were living in the area of Belgium and the Rhineland as allies of Rome. But other Franks were living inside adjacent German territory. The Franks did little while the other German tribes came and went. Still, when the Goths in the east were conquered by the Huns, the Franks managed to stay independent, and lent a hand at defeatomh the Huns at the battle of Chalons."

Answer 2

Anne Frank and her parents are a BIG part of history.
"Anneliese Marie "Anne" Frank (June 12, 1929 – February/March, 1945) was a German-born Jewish girl who wrote a diary while in hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her family had moved to Amsterdam after the Nazis gained power in Germany but were trapped when the Nazi occupation extended into The Netherlands. As persecutions against the Jewish population increased, the family went into hiding in July 1942 in hidden rooms in her father Otto Frank's office building. After two years in hiding, the group was betrayed and transported to the concentration camp system where Anne died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen within days of her sister, Margot Frank. Her father, Otto, the only survivor of the group, returned to Amsterdam after the war ended, to find that her diary had been saved. Convinced that it was a unique record, he took action to have it published. It was published originally in English under the name The Diary of a Young Girl.

The diary was given to Anne Frank for her thirteenth birthday and chronicles the events of her life from June 12, 1942 until its final entry of August 1, 1944. It was eventually translated from its original Dutch into many languages and became one of the world's most widely read books. There have also been several film, television, and theatrical productions, and even an opera, based on the diary. Described as the work of a mature and insightful mind, it provides an intimate examination of daily life under Nazi occupation; through her writing, Anne Frank has become one of the most renowned and discussed of the Holocaust victims."
