On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

My favorite #genealogy tip--always search by address--came through for me again today. After finding my great-great-aunt Fanika's address in the 1910 census, I used it to find this newspaper article, about a thwarted burglary. She would have been one of the servants inside. NY Herald, Dec 21 1911./1
