Anne Frank

Anne Frank House

On August 1, 1944, the 15 year old Ann Frank made the following entry, the last one that she would make, into her dairy.  "[I] keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would like to be, and what I could be, if . . . there weren't any other people living in the world."  She and her family were arrested 3 days later.  Anne's writings, her notebooks, diaries and notes, which she started when she was 13 years old, were rescued by friends who helped hide the Frank family during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam.  After his release from a Nazi concentration camp. her father spent his entire life making Anne's legacy available to the world.  Travel to the house where the Franks hid for two years before their arrest, examine the documents and see for yourself the courage of this young woman, her family and friends.  See for yourself that this talented young woman realized her ambition to become a writer, that she did indeed become what we would all 'like to be.'
