74 years since the world lost Anne Frank

She can be honored at the memorial and museum dedicated to her

07/03/19 | StarsInsider

TRAVEL Anne frank

Estimates put Anne Frank's last days on Earth at between February and March of 1945. Whatever the date, it's been almost three quarters of a century since the world lost the teen diarist to Nazi forces. Fortunately, we can continue to honor Anne Frank in a variety of ways, including by visiting the Anne Frank House museum and a statue of the young woman that stands nearby. In fact, we can pay our respects to Anne Frank and the many victims of the Holocaust at memorials throughout the world, as seen in this gallery.
