Nice work, Bianca, to which I would also add that Ann Frank and her family also went into hiding on this day on a hot day in 1942.
We must never forget the Nazi atrocities, lest they happen again.

Oh, Sara, please forgive ME!
I use Yahoo's AP Daily set up because it is nicely arranged, but it sorely lacks in info. Usually
I supply it with the one below.
As fate would have it, I was too tired last night to check it and I forgot this morning......
I certainly agree with you about the Anne Frank Story and what it reopresents!!!
This was my idea for a daily thread:
".........A lot of commemorative dates are ignored in the MSM, but may be impotant to a lot of us here.
It would also be pretty interesting, as many of us are from outside the USA."
The few I have done I have put in their proper section, but have announced it HERE and added a LINK
to the story.
So, I urge you to contribute any time, Please! You're still in time......
Hugs,
b
