The Incredible Stories Behind 50+ Iconic Historical Photos
Beach Days to Dark Times
In this photo, sisters Anne and Margot Frank enjoy a carefree day at the beach, unaware of the tragic fate that awaits them. The Frank family lived in Holland, and their peaceful lives were shattered in 1942 when the Nazi persecution of Jews intensified.
Forced into hiding in a secret annex behind their father’s office, the family lived in constant fear for two years. Sadly, their refuge was discovered, and they were sent to Westerbork transit camp and later to Auschwitz. Anne’s diary, “The Diary of a Young Girl,” has since become a symbol of resilience and the human spirit.
