Anne Frank's Birthday June 12
#1

Anne Frank was just thirteen years old when she and her family went into hiding behind the Amsterdam office of her father to avoid persecution by Hitler's Nazis. One of her dearest possessions was the diary she had just received as a birthday present. Anne died of typhus in March of 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, but her father survived to publish her diary in 1947. Today, translated into sixty-seven languages, Anne Frank's diary has been read by millions.

I just like to remind folks once a year about Anne's birthday June 12th, for it was on that day that she received what was to become a treasure for all to see; her diary.

 

I once again urge everyone who has not taken the time to read it, to do so. I think some people may think, why the heck would I want to read the diary of a teenage girl? Well after you read it, you won't look at her as a thirteen year old school girl, but as a woman, a writer, an historian and a young lass who has so much insight about the world and those she is surrounded by.

 

So go to your library, borrow it from a friend, or buy yourself a copy. Read it once, read it twice.
