Anne Frank, born in Germany in 1929, remains one of the most well-known victims of the Holocaust. The story of her life as a Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis, which she meticulously recorded in a series of diaries, was compiled in of the most well-read and beloved books in modern times: The Diary of a Young Girl.

Her words, written during one of the darkest chapters in history, continue to shine a light of hope, courage, and resilience. They remind us that, even in the face of hatred, the human spirit can endure – and inspire.

Today, as Israel fights a war against terrorist enemies committed to her destruction, and Jewish communities once again face rising anti-Semitism and violence, Anne’s legacy calls us to stand united in our mission to protect and support Israel and the Jewish people.

At The Fellowship, we honor Anne not only by remembering her story, but by acting to alleviate poverty, provide security, and help Jews make aliyah to Israel, their biblical homeland. Just as Anne dreamed of a world filled with peace and dignity, we work every day to bring that vision closer to reality.

Anne died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945. But her spirit lives on. You can carry her light forward. You can respond to darkness with compassion, and to hatred with unwavering love for those in need. Give a gift to The Fellowship today – and may God bless you for your generous heart for his people.
