Anne
Frank
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.

Anne
Frank
Nicole Caspari is a twenty-year old German
who didn't learn of Anne Frank until 1998 when her high school religion
teacher showed an Anne Frank film. "After the first 45 minutes, I already
felt smashed. I had the strange, inexplicable feeling that this movie tells
me something which has been hidden from me in my whole life." From that
day on, Caspari learned all she could about Frank: She wrote a school report
and developed this passionate Web site. Don't miss her "About Me"
section which describes how Caspari's life was turned upside down by Anne
Frank. |
