Snapshots in History: June 12: Remembering Anne Frank and Her Diary
On June 12 and beyond, let us remember Annelies “Anne” Marie Frank (Born: June 12, 1929; Died: early March 1945), a victim of the Holocaust who died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Anne Frank is best remembered for her diary, often published as The Diary of a Young Girl. It was on her thirteenth (13th) birthday on June 12, 1942 that she was given a diary which she would fill with her writings that would become famous the world over. She kept the diary for two years in hiding from the Nazis until her family’s capture in 1944. Her father, Otto Frank, the sole survivor of the Frank family retrieved Anne’s diary after World War 2 from friend Miep Gies.
