The day she went silent.


Today is the day that Anne Frank fell silent writing her diary. Today is the day that her documentation stopped. 



Seventy years ago, Anne Frank made her final diary entry from her hiding place in Amsterdam on Aug. 1, 1944. Anne lived in the Secret Annex at 263 Prinsengracht with her family for two years during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II, documenting her life faithfully in her diary during that time. TODAY IS ANNE'S OFFICIAL FIRST DAY OF DIARY SILENCE. R.I.P.  Anne.
