What did they bring to the world? Continue reading to learn more.
Jewish young Anne Frank wrote “The Diary of a Young Jewish Girl,” a diary whose entries have influenced decades. On June 12, 1929, Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Otto and Ruth Frank. After leaving Nazi Germany, the Frank family relocated to Amsterdam, Netherlands. However, the Nazis took control of the Netherlands in 1942. The family was consequently compelled to go into hiding and was making ends meet by hiding behind Frank’s business. Anne wrote her diary during that time.
Her family was divided by treachery later in 1944, and the Germans imprisoned them in detention camps where they were forced to work long hours in appalling conditions. The sole survivor in the family was her father, who also happened to find Anne’s diary. Many people all throughout the world found strength and hope in this diary.
Samantha Smith was the daughter of Jane Goshorn Smith, a social worker, and a college literature instructor. Her birthday is June 29, 1972. She corresponded with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov in a letter when she was just ten years old. Samantha wrote a letter attempting to ascertain what led to the Cold War between the US and the USSR. Despite the letter appearing in the Soviet daily “Pravda,” she never heard back from Andropov.
She received a letter from Andropov on April 26, 1983, in which he responded to all of the young girl’s questions. The reply contained an invitation to the Soviet Union as well. She was an invaluable tool in peacekeeping missions because of her writing skills. On this day, postal stamps featuring Anne and Samantha first appeared.
