Anne Frank's 80 th birthday would have been June 12. I have been a member of The International Women's Writing Guild and just received an e-mail that the organization has teamed up with the Anne Frank Center of New York to honor Anne Frank. The opening night ceremony for the 32nd annual "Remember the Magic" Summer Conference of the IWWG will be free and include Part 1 of the Anne Frank Birthday Tribute with Maureen McNeil, the Director of Education at the Anne Frank Center. The location for this event is the Gannett Auditorium at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The conference schedule is from June 12-19. For more information, see www.iwwg.org
According to the email I received from Hannelore Hahn, Founder of the IWWG, Anne Frank received her diary on her thirteenth birthday. Anne Frank wrote about her family in hiding during World War II. She was captured and her diary was found in her family's hiding place after her death in a concentration camp. According to the information at www.annefrank.org, Anne wanted her diary to be published and started rewriting it with that in mind. Her father followed through and made that happen.
The blog regarding press releases will come at another time. Stay tuned...
