On August 4, 1944 - Anna Frank is abducted by the Gestapo.

When she was 4, her German family escaped the Nazi terror by settling to Amsterdam. But Hitler's invasion of Holland forced a move to a warehouse, now called the Anne Frank house. Anne shared this secret annex with her family and four others. Neccessarily silent by day, the cheerful but inquisitive fourteen-year-old discovered her inner self through writing.

"We see the world being turned to wilderness, and hear the ever approaching thunder. Yet if I look up into the heavens, I think this cruelty too will end and peace and tranquility will return again. "

On August 4, 1944 the Gestapo abducted the living, but failed to notice the diary of a young girl, the purest literary testament of 6 million Jews, including Anne herself, silenced in the Holocaust.
