Birthday of Anne Frank, who died of typhoid in Bergen-Belsen camp in March 1945. Witness to a recent time when children were hunted down like vermin. Yet also a witness to a power stronger than her tormentors—the sacred core of a human soul that refuses to yield to darkness.

“I know that I am a woman... with inward strength and plenty of courage. If God let’s me live...I shall not remain insignificant, I shall work in the world and for mankind! And now I know that first and foremost I shall require courage and cheerfulness.”

Anne Frank, born June 12 1929 would be 90 today. How would we respond if it was her face we recognized among the children seeking asylum at the border?
Bergen Belsen was liberated on Apr 15, 1945, by the British. They discovered approximately 60,000 prisoners alive, most of them half-starved and seriously ill and 13,000 corpses, including those of Anne and Margot Frank, were lying around the camp unburied. God rest their souls.
