August 4, 1944: Nazi police raided the secret annex of a building in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and arrested eight people, including 15-year-old Anne Frank, whose diary became a famous account of the Holocaust.
She later died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
