80 Years Later: Anne Frank's Sister Breaks Her Silence



On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank, a 13-year-old German Jewish girl, received a diary that would immortalize her voice and experiences during the Holocaust.
Fleeing persecution in Germany, Anne's family found temporary refuge in Amsterdam before being forced into hiding to escape the Nazi occupation.
In her diary, Anne chronicled her fears, hopes, and the harrowing realities of life in hiding. Betrayed and captured in 1944, Anne's life was tragically cut short in Bergen-Belsen.
Yet her words survived, becoming a symbol of resilience and a testament to the atrocities of the Holocaust, inspiring generations to fight prejudice and embrace humanity.
