On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the second Anne Frank Children's Human Rights Memorial was scheduled to be opened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The Anne Frank tree, a horse chestnut tree that Anne could see from the Secret Annex, blew down during gale-force winds. Despite efforts to save it, the tree succumbed to the elements, symbolizing the fragility of life and the destruction caused by war.
The Anne Frank House opened to the public, becoming a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of Anne Frank and the Holocaust. This date is significant as it marks the transformation of the Secret Annex into a place of remembrance and education.
A group of Dutch citizens, including Otto Frank, established the Anne Frank Stichting to rescue the Prinsengracht building from demolition and to make it accessible to the public.
Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated by British troops. Though Anne Frank was not alive at this date, the liberation marks the end of the horrors of the camp and the opportunity for survivors to rebuild their lives. The exact date of Anne's death is not known, but it is estimated by the Red Cross to have been in March, with Dutch authorities setting 31 March as the official date.
Hans Goslar [de], the father of Hanneli Goslar and a friend of Anne Frank, died one or two weeks after his and Annes first meeting in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Nanette Blitz, a friend of Anne Frank, was moved from the Sternlager to the same section of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Anne Frank and her sister Margot were transferred from Auschwitz to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. This marks a transition to a camp known for its dire conditions and high mortality rate.
Anne Frank and her family were deported from Westerbork to the Auschwitz concentration camp on the last transport from Westerbork.
Anne Frank and the other people that were hiding with her were transported to the Westerbork transit camp.
Anne Frank and the other people that were hiding with her were transferred to the Huis van Bewaring (House of Detention), an overcrowded prison on the Weteringschans.
The Secret Annex where the Frank family was hiding was raided by the German police (Grüne Polizei) led by SS-Oberscharführer Karl Silberbauer. Anne Frank, her family, and the other occupants of the annex were arrested and taken to the RSHA headquarters. This date marks the end of their time in hiding and the beginning of their deportation to concentration camps.
Anne Frank wrote the last entry in her diary. This date marks the end of her diary entries, just days before the Secret Annex was raided by the German police.
The Frank family went into hiding in the Secret Annex (Achterhuis) behind Otto Frank's business premises on Prinsengracht, Amsterdam. This date marks the beginning of over two years of confinement for Anne and her family, during which she documented her experiences in her diary.
Margot Frank, Anne's older sister, received a call-up notice from the Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung (Central Office for Jewish Emigration) ordering her to report for relocation to a work camp. This event forced the Frank family to go into hiding sooner than planned, marking the start of their confinement in the Secret Annex.
Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday. This is the diary she named Kitty and in which she documented her life in hiding from the Nazis. This date is significant because the diary became one of the world's best-known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.
The U.S. consulate in Rotterdam was destroyed in the German bombing, resulting in the loss of all paperwork, including the Frank family's visa application. This event dashed the Frank family's hopes of emigrating to the United States, trapping them in Amsterdam during the German occupation and leading to their subsequent hiding and eventual deportation.
Anne Frank joined the 6th Montessori School in Amsterdam. This date marks the start of her formal education in the Netherlands after her family fled Nazi Germany. It signifies a period of relative normalcy and integration into Dutch society before the German occupation.
Annelies Marie Frank, known as Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Edith (née Holländer) and Otto Heinrich Frank. She was born at the Maingau Red Cross Clinic. Her birth marks the beginning of the life of a girl who would later become an iconic figure through her diary, documenting her experiences during the Holocaust. This date is significant as the start of her journey, leading to her posthumous fame.
