Remembering Anne Frank

At Southwest County Regional Library, our current lobby display is in memory of Anne Frank. Anne began to keep her diary on her thirteenth birthday, June 12, 1942. She writes of her life from 1942 to 1944, when her family was hiding in Amsterdam from the Nazis. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is considered to be one of the most important books of the twentieth century. It has been translated into approximately 60 languages and has sold more than 25 million copies world wide.



Anne died in the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. She is one of the 11 million who perished during the Holocaust. Because of her diary, Anne Frank's words will live forever.
