World War II : Anne Frank
The diary of Anne Frank, a teenage girl living in a small hideaway for two years in Amsterdam, is relevant for us right now as she had to undergo self-isolation, along with her family and others, in a confined space. But there was no 5 km radius for her to roam around like we can. Instead, she had a tiny annex.
Look at the video of The Secret Annex that Anne lived in for two years.
Read the text below.
