Anne Frank's notebooks given to her father

After the confirmation of the deaths of Anne and Margot Frank by sisters Janny and Lien Brilleslijper, a pivotal moment occurred when Miep Gies handed over Anne's notebooks to Otto Frank, Anne's father. Gies, along with Bep Voskuijl, had preserved these writings in the hope of returning them to Anne. The collection included the famous red-and-white checkered diary, which Anne had used to document her thoughts and experiences while in hiding during the Holocaust. Otto Frank later reflected on the emotional difficulty he faced while reading the diary, as it detailed the harrowing events and struggles faced by his daughters during their time in hiding. This act of returning the notebooks not only served as a personal connection to his lost daughters but also marked the beginning of Anne's legacy as a symbol of resilience and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
