Anne's Diary At 70

From ABC News:
"Anne Frank Diary 70th Anniversary"

Teenager Anne Frank's diary about the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in the early 1940s has inspired more than just plays and films since her death in a German concentration camp in 1945 at age 15. She started writing it 70 years ago today, June 12, 1942, on her 13th birthday. Her first entry reads, "I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support."   "The Diary of a Young Girl,"was first published in 1947.

^ Today is the 70th anniversary of when Anne Frank started her diary and is also the day which would have been her 83rd birthday. Despite 70 years her diary continues to show people what happens when bad things happen to good people and no one does a thing to stop it. ^
