On this day in 1944.



Anne Frank/Family Arrested in Amsterdam

On this day in 1944, Anne Frank and her family were arrested in Amsterdam by the Nazis, thanks to a tip from a Dutch informer.  Although Amsterdam has historically been known as a liberal haven, a greater percentage of Jews from The Netherlands were killed by the Nazis than from any other Western European country, including Poland.
