To mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, we're honoring one of the most famous Mighty Girls of the period, Anne Frank. Since her father Otto Frank published the diary in 1947 that she had written during her time concealed in a hidden space called the Annex, hiding from N**i arrest, Anne has been a source of inspiration to the world. For many children, Anne Frank's diary is the first time they confront the reality that, behind the facts and figures of war -- dates of invasions, locations of camps, and huge death tolls -- there were real people, including children like them, each with their own story, living through these events. And yet, Anne's writing makes it clear to even young readers that she believed in hope and in the best nature of humanity, and that she never doubted that good people could make the world a better place.
In our new blog post, "Hope in a Hidden Room: A Mighty Girl Salutes Anne Frank," we present a selection of resources for exploring Anne's life, writings, and lasting impact. Included are books -- including picture books, biographies, photographic collections, and even a graphic biography -- movies, and a poster featuring Anne's image and a quote from her diary. It is a testament to her legacy that this is just a small percentage of the amazing titles out there that celebrate her life.
