Anne Frank And Remembering Tree

This is a story of Anne Frank and her sister Margot, who loved a tree, and the tree who promised never to forget them. An age-appropriate way to introduce children to the Holocaust.

I had always looked into the windows of the houses around the courtyard. In most windows, I saw people working and children playing. When the soldiers came, people began covering their windows, so I couldn’t see inside anymore.
