Anne Frank


Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who wrote a diary while in hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II. She later died in a German concentration camp, and her poignant diary really comes to life when one visits her childhood home in Amsterdam. I read the "Diary of Anne Frank" while in high school, but I need to read it again, in fact we all should, as that tragic slice of human history must never be repeated. This bronze statue of Anne stands in a public square.
