Margot Frank's Birthday February 16, 1926
Margot Frank, born on February 16, 1926, was Anne's older sister. She was Otto and Edith Frank's first child. Margot is described as tidy, quiet, and a good student. Anne writes of her in her diary on September 27, 1942, "Margot doesn't need any upbringing, since she's naturally good, kind and clever, perfection itself." Some may say that she seems the opposite of the outgoing and gregarious Anne.
