DIARIST CAPTURED ON THIS DAY IN 1944
Acting on tip from a Dutch informer, the Nazi Gestapo captured 15-year-
old Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family in a sealed-off area of an
Amsterdam warehouse. The Franks had taken shelter there in 1942 out
of fear of deportation to a Nazi concentration camp. They occupied the
small space with another Jewish family and a single Jewish man, and
were aided by Christian friends, who brought them food and supplies.
Anne spent much of her time in the so-called “secret annex”(below)
working on her diary. The diary survived the war, overlooked by the
Gestapo that discovered the hiding place.

After spending nine months on the run, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
was captured on December 13, 2003. Saddam’s downfall began on March 20,
2003, when the United States led an invasion force into Iraq to topple his government, which had controlled the country for more than 20 years.
