On this day in 1944, Nazi police raided a house in Amsterdam and arrested eight people. Anne Frank, a teenager at the time, was one
of the people arrested. Her diary (below) would be published after
her death in 1945. The exact cause of her death was not determined,

although in early 1945, a typhus epidemic spread through the labor
camp where the Frank women were being held, killing 17,000
prisoners.  Other diseases, including
typhoid fever, were also 
rampant.
