1942 : Anne Frank receives a diary
On this day, Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living in Amsterdam,
receives a diary for her 13th birthday. A month later, she and
her family went into hiding from the Nazis in rooms behind her
father's office. For two years, the Franks and four other
families hid, fed and cared for by Gentile friends. The families
were discovered by the Gestapo, which had been tipped off, in
1944. The Franks were taken to Auschwitz, where Anne's mother
died. Friends in Amsterdam searched the rooms and found Anne's
diary hidden away.
Anne and her sister were transferred to another camp,
Bergen-Belsen, where Anne died of typhus a month before the war
ended.
Anne's father survived Auschwitz and published Anne's diary in
1947 as The Diary of a Young Girl. The book has been translated
into some 30 languages.
