Amsterdam, Netherlands…Anne Frank’s short life proved that every life, even brief ones can leave a lasting impact on the world. If Anne had lived she would be 92 on her birthday today. Her “The Diary of a Young Girl” gives timeless lessons on the inalienable rights that all are born with and all instinctively know. Whatever our race, color or creed the heartbeat of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness beats in every chest. Even being imprisoned, denied her physical freedom and her life for the “crime” of being Jewish proved that even Hitler could not imprison a soul.
