Anne Frank Was Born Today. The World Still Needs Her Words.

95 years ago today, Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany. Thirteen years later, she was in hiding in an Amsterdam attic, writing in the diary that would outlive her and become one of the most powerful personal accounts of the Holocaust.

Anne’s words were not only a witness to Nazi persecution, but a defiant act of hope. She dreamed of a world where people were free — and women’s voices mattered. In an era when Jewish families were hunted, when fear tried to silence truth, Anne used a pen.

She never survived the camps. But her writing did.

Her story reminds us why freedom, truth, and historical memory are never guaranteed — and always worth defending. In a time when book bans are rising and antisemitism is resurging, remembering Anne is more than history. It’s a call to action.

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

“As we honor Anne’s legacy this June — a month of both remembrance and Pride — we carry forward her hope for a freer, kinder world.”
