When I was a preteen, I first heard of Anne Frank. Yes, I watched the old movie (that I still say is very well done), and I read her diary. I will never forget the preparation our school did as we planned on attending a Holocaust exhibit at our local museum. I will never forget the scenes our algebra teacher showed us (yes, this was in algebra) of bodies being piled on top of each other in mass graves. I can still see that in my mind to this date, and that is almost 30 years ago!

Anyway, on this date in 1944, Anne Frank and her family were transported to Auschwitz. It was three days later when the family was separated, and sadly Anne died the following year just “moments” before Germany lost and the camps were freed.
