In 1933, the Frank family emigrates to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. On 6 July 1942, Margot and her family go into hiding in the Secret Annex to escape from the Nazis. On 4 August 1944 they are arrested and send to concentration camps.

According to the diary of her younger sister, Anne, Margot kept a diary of her own, but no trace of Margot’s diary has ever been found. In February 1945, Margot dies in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
