Today Sage International Schools are honoring the memory of Anne Frank and all of the victims of the Nazi-organized and led Holocaust. Today is the anniversary of her birth. Had she survived World War II and lived until today, she would have been 94. Anne Frank and her sister Margot died at Bergen-Belsen in February/March of 1945 - shortly before the camp's liberation by the British Army. This picture was taken by our Executive Director Andy Johnson this morning at the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial.
