Tidbits of Wisdom
Young Women Make a Difference
​Anne Frank
1929-1945

• Annelies (Anne) Marie Frank, arguably the most famous WWII Holocaust victim, was a young Jewish girl who recorded day-to-day life hiding from the Nazi Party.
• Anne’s family spent two years hiding in Amsterdam in the “Secret Annex” (a space in the back of her father’s work building) with the van Pels family before being discovered by Dutch Nazis.
• Anne kept a journal filled with quotes from her favorite authors and part of a story she was writing.
• Once discovered, the family was sent to Auschwitz and Anne and her sister, Margot, were later deported to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
• Anne and her sister died within a day of each other, just weeks before Bergen-Belsen would be liberated.
• Anne’s father, Otto, survived and published select passages of her diary: The Secret Annex: Diary Letters from June 14, 1942 to Aug. 1, 1944.
• Anne’s diary, which was addressed to Kitty, is now published in 67 different languages and serves as a reminder of her hope and love undeterred by hate.
