the day Anne Frank and her family and friends were arrested.

Heard it on the radio, closing to a regular show where they say what happened in history on this day. Didin't even know that.

Got to read up on it. For how long were they hiding? And then arrested in August 44, when did the allies liberate Amsterdam? That's the city where they were hiding, right?
God, I should know all these things.

Anne died in early '45 in Bergen-Belsen ( I think) Amsterdam wasn't liberated until the Germans surrendered after may 5th of 1945.

They had been hiding since July '42, started to see the BBC movie streaming on netflix last night.
And yes that's what they said on the radio as well, she died in Bergen-Belsen of typhiod fever.
