# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Otto Heinrich Frank was born on 12 May 1889, a German businessman who would outlive most of his family. In 1947, two years after liberation, he edited and published the first edition of his daughter Anne's diary, introducing the world to a document written in hiding that would become known in English as The Diary of a Young Girl. He advised on its theatrical and cinematic adaptations as it spread across continents. Through the 1950s and 1960s, he established European charities in Anne's name and founded the trust that preserved the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam — the wartime hiding place where she had written. He died on 19 August 1980, having turned private grief into public memory.
