(June 8) -- Anne Frank died during the Holocaust at age 15, but a new age progression image shows how she might look if she were alive today.
The image was created for the Anne Frank Trust UK to mark what would have been her 80th birthday on June 12, London's Telegraph reported.

Frank became famous after her 1945 death because of the publication of her diary, which recounted how she and her family hid from the Nazis in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during World War II.
She died of typhus and starvation just weeks before the Nazi concentration camp she was being held in was liberated.
Frank's half-sister Eva Schloss saw the image for the first time last week. "I must say I was a bit shocked... I don't really know why," she told the Telegraph. "It is a beautiful lady, very gentle, very kind-looking with this gentle smile."
The image was created by a Michigan firm that has worked on dozens of missing persons cases, the paper said.
