According to documents discovered in 2012, Annes father wrote numerous letters to U.S. officials pleading for permission to immigrate with his family. Most of these were written between April and December of 1941, in the months following the Nazis occupation of the Netherlands, where the Frank family had been exiled.
At the end of 1941, after the familys pleas were ignored, the Franks would go into hiding for two years, until they were eventually discovered and sent to Auschwitz. In 1945, Anne and her sister Margot died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camps.

The world isn't as simple as a picture with some words on the internet. If it were, everything would've been solved by now.
