I would like to pay tribute to Anne Frank.
Because she helped us determine the value of tolerance and acceptance in a society.
Her sacrifice reminds us of the importance of a safe environment for everyone.
We have not forgotten you.
About
Ode by Rick van Dijk to Anne Frank
Anne Frank lived here and was betrayed and arrested here with her family. Her tragic fate makes us reflect. She managed to leave her mark on history through her diary. She had to pay a high price for who she was.
This tribute was written during a meeting of the Industrieele Groote Club, where the Amsterdam Museum was the guest speaker in the context of 750 years of Amsterdam.
Anne Frank
Anne Frank (1929 – 1945) was een Duits en later statenloos Joods meisje dat wereldberoemd is geworden door haar dagboek dat ze schreef tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen ze ondergedoken zat in het achterhuis aan de Prinsengracht in Amsterdam.
