Today in History...



June 25th, 1947, the Diary of Anne Frank is published for the first time. The Diary of a Young Girl is a book composed of extracts from a diary written by Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the World War II Nazi occupation of The Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944 and Frank ultimately died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. After the war, the diary was retrieved by Frank's father, Otto Frank.
