          I am professional photo collector and recently

          purchased this Image.                                                                                                                                   

           

          

                              Kitty  Reiss

  

            born May 9 th 1924 in Vienna  Austria.

           She is shown here on her first day of school in 1931

           On Sept 14 th  1942 she was deported to Maly Trostinec

            She was one of 15,000 jews, between May and October of  1942,

            That were sytematically murdered upon their arrival's

             sorry for the sad story...but it had to be said

             so she could be remembered properly

            

ANNE FRANK !

http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/worldhistory/lifeofannefrank3.htm

    The greatest writer ever...of course !

      Her struggle to flee the Nazis gave a face to all those others

      that suffered during that time.

      As None other than Nelson Mandela explained... he and his

      fellow prisoners on Robben  Island often read  her diary, and

      recieved spiritual nourishment from it.

      Miep  Gies who helped Anne and her family to hide from

      nazis, and who is still living at age of 99, said of Anne that she

      lived completely "in the moment"..and that she bristled with Life !

      In a moment of sadness..Anne said  

      " I wander from room to room, feeling like a songbird whose wings

       have been ripped off--Hurling itself the bars in its darked cage"

       At first  publishers of  Anne's Diary did not expect it to be nearly

       as popular as it would become..but when a 'Very Impressed' 

       Eleanor  Roosevelt wrote an introduction for doubledays 1952 

       Edition...it took off !
