Annelies Marie Frank (German pronunciation: [ˈanəˌliːs maˈʁiː ˈʔanə ˈfʁaŋk] (listen), Dutch: [ˈɑnəˌlis maːˈri ˈʔɑnə ˈfrɑŋk]; 12 June 1929 – c. February 1945)[1] was a German-Dutch diarist of Jewish heritage. One of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust, she gained fame posthumously with the 1947 publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis in Dutch; English: The Secret Annex), in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world's best-known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, Netherlands, having moved there in 1934 with her family at the age of four and a half when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party gained control over Germany. Born a German national, she lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the Franks went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father, Otto Frank, worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, she kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. On 1 November 1944,[2] Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they died (probably of typhus) a few months later. They were originally estimated by the Red Cross to have died in March, with Dutch authorities setting 31 March as their official date of death. In 1986 the historians David Barnouw and Gerrald van der Stroom wrote in The Diary of Anne Frank: The Critical Edition that they probably died at the end of February or beginning of March 1945, basing this estimate on the written statement of eyewitness Lien Brilleslijper in November 1945.[3] Research by the Anne Frank House in 2015 suggests that they died in February.[1]

Otto, the only survivor of the Frank family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that her diary had been saved by his secretary, Miep Gies. He decided to fulfill Anne's greatest wish to become a writer and to publish her diary.[4] His efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 70 languages.

Joshua "Jack" Huddy (November 8, 1735 – April 12, 1782) was a captain in the Monmouth militia and of the privateer ship The Black Snake during the American Revolutionary War. Following his capture, Huddy was controversially executed by irregular Loyalist forces in 1782.[1]

His execution was noted for precipitating one of the first international incidents of the newly independent United States. In retaliation for Huddy's execution, patriots petitioned for the execution of captive British officer, Charles Asgill, which would have violated the terms of the Articles of Capitulation.[1] This came to be known as the "Asgill Affair".[2] The Kingdom of France, allies of the US, pressured the young nation to show the officer mercy. The Congress of the Confederation voted to order his release.

He is buried in Old Tennent Presbyterian Church in Tennent, NJ
