Anne Margot's Diary Of An Immigrant

One of these people was a 13 year old girl named Anne, who was born in Germany, to an extent, she was a normal teenager, she went to school, loved spending time with her friends, had a very close relationship with her father and often butt heads with her mom. Her life was normal, joyful, that was of course until one day Anne’s sister, Margot received a deportation letter from the Gastapo calling her to one of the concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
