SPEAKER_01: Before we begin, a quick warning. Today's episode contains mentions of violence. Hello from Wonder Media Network. I'm Luvvie Ajayi-Jones. I'm a New York Times best-selling author, speaker, and host of the podcast, Professional Troublemaker. I'm so excited to be your guest host for this month of Womanica. This month we're highlighting prodigies, women who achieved greatness at a young age. This is especially a passion point for me because my latest book, Rising Troublemaker, a fear fighter manual for teens, reminds them that they are never too young to make a significant impact. Today, we're exploring the story of a woman whose writing revealed the atrocities of World War II. Let's talk about Anne Frank. Anne was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on June 12th, 1929 to a Jewish family. At that time, anti-Semitic sentiment in Germany was on the rise. When Anne was four years old, the Nazi regime came to power. Anne's parents, Otto and Edith Frank, decided to move to Amsterdam in the Netherlands to escape persecution. Anne's father started a small business selling herbs, spices, and pectin, which is used for making jam. Anne and her family settled into a new life. Anne learned Dutch and attended the local Montessori school. Then on September 1st, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland. The Second World War had begun. Less than a year later, on May 10th, 1940, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. After they invaded, the new Nazi government introduced regulations that limited the freedom of Jewish people. Jews could no longer appear in certain public spaces like parks, Jewish children had to go to separate Jewish schools. It became illegal for Jewish people to operate businesses. So Anne's father had to give up ownership of his company. Anne's parents began planning to ensure their safety. There was an empty section in the building where Otto ran his business, and he began furnishing it. He realized that it was big enough to hide his entire family, plus the family of his Jewish employee, Hermann van Pels. Four of his other non-Jewish employees agreed to help him and his family if they went into hiding. Then on July 5th, 1942, Anne's older sister, Margot, received a call to report to a labor camp in Nazi Germany. Otto and Edith realized the time had come, and the next day, the Frank family went into hiding. They were soon joined by Hermann van Pels, his wife, August van Pels, and their son, Peter. A few months later, a German-Jewish dentist also joined. Right before they went into hiding, Otto and Edith gave Anne a diary for her 13th birthday. While Anne was in hiding, she wrote in her diary every single day. She documented her thoughts and feelings. She wrote short stories in the beginning of a novel and copied passages from her favorite books. Her writing was wide and varied. She talked about her dreams of becoming a journalist or writer, noted her annoyances with her family, wrote candidly about her love for Peter van Pels, and described how her family managed to survive in hiding. In 1944, the Minister of Education of the Dutch government in England started encouraging people to keep their war diaries. Heeding this call, Anne began rewriting her diaries into one story called Het Akterhaus, which translates roughly to The Secret Annex. On August 4th, 1944, Anne's writing was cut short. The Secret Annex was raided by the police and everyone hiding there was discovered. Along with thousands of other Jewish people living in the Netherlands, Anne and her family were packed into cattle wagons and taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp. They left all their belongings behind, including Anne's diary. Anne, her sister, and her mother were sent to a forced labor camp for women. Then in November, 1944, Anne and her sister were separated from their mother and taken to the Birken-Belsen concentration camp. The camp was overcrowded, cold, and unsanitary. Anne Frank died there after contracting typhus in early 1945. On January 17th, 1945, Otto Frank was freed from Auschwitz by Soviet troops, along with the other remaining prisoners. In June, 1945, he finally made it back to Amsterdam. On the journey, he learned that his wife had died. By July, he had found out his daughters had also died in the camps. Some of the people who had helped Otto and his family live in the secret annex gave him Anne's diaries, which they had kept after the family was taken. As Otto read them, he was struck by the depth of Anne's writing. Eventually, Otto edited and then published Anne's diary in 1947, giving it the same name that Anne had given it, the secret annex. Anne's words captured the world's attention. Her diary was translated into more than 70 languages and sold more than 30 million copies. The diary was adapted into a Broadway play and a movie. In 1995, a new English translation of her diary was published, which included material that Otto took out of the original version. Additionally, in 1957, Otto helped establish the Anne Frank House, a museum that preserves the secret annex that Anne and her family lived in. Today, visitors can walk through the same rooms Anne lived and wrote in and learn more about her story. Anne's diary documented her life as a young Jewish girl in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, helped expose the horrors of Jewish persecution to the world. Her words continue to inspire young people across the globe to fight injustice and fight for change. All month, we're highlighting prodigies.
