She Will Never Be Silenced!

No-one is sure of the exact date of Anne Frank‘s death.

We know only that the young diarist died 70 years ago - shortly before the liberation of  Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April 1945.

As a budding writer, the teenage Frank could not – would not – be silenced. So Tuesday 14 April 2015 was chosen to commemorate the 70th anniversary of her passing, coinciding with the date of the camp’s opening by the Allies.

Here, as my contribution to Yom Hashoa 2015 and the #NotSilent social media campaign to remember Frank, I post the lines she jotted in her friend, Eva Goldberg’s poetry album on January 29 1939:

 

 

‘Dear Eva,
Share your joy with many,
fun and pleasure with everyone,
your sorrow with only a few,
and with those you love your heart.
In memory of your friend
Anne Frank’
