Annelies Marie-"Anne Frank"

These are the people who helped to keep the families safe. They worked for Mr. Frank's company. They also brought them food. They are...Mr. Kugler, Miep Gies, Bep Voskuijl, and Mr. Kleiman.
They were truly risking their own lives.

On her thirteenth birthday in 1942, just before they went into hiding, Anne received a red and white plaid diary and immediately started using it.
She called it Kitty.

****Bergen-Belsen (or Belsen) was a Nazi concentration camp in Lower Saxony, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle.
"We can not change what happened anymore. The only thing we can do is to learn from the past and to realize what discrimination and persecution of innocent people means.
I believe that it is everyone's responsibility to fight prejudice".
Otto Frank In 1970
**** I truly embrace his statement.
