“Riches, power and fame last only for a few years! Why do people cling so desperately to these transitory things? Why can't people who have more than they need for themselves give that surplus to their fellow citizens? Why should some people have such a hard time during their few years on this earth?”

Her diary, 'The Diary of a Young Girl,' is a testament to the sufferings of Jews during World War II and a classic in world literature. She and her family hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam hiding place during the war, and her diary, written during this time, later became widely read. Anne Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. more
