POWERFUL ANNE FRANK QUOTES
Yesterday, 12th June, was the birth anniversary of Anne Frank. Anne was a Jew who was trapped in Germany during World War II. In order to escape death, her family fled to Amsterdam from Germany, two years before they were finally caught and sent to concentration camps. March, 1945, just a few weeks before the camps were liberated, Anne and her sister died.
