February 16, 2016: Margot Frank's 90th Birthday
Margot Frank, born in 1926, was Anne's older sister.
While this month marks the anniversary of Anne and Margot's deaths from typhus at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, it also marks Margot's 90th birthday. She deserves to be commemorated just as Anne is memorialized through her diary. Like Anne, Margot kept her own diary but it was never found. What we know of her is gathered from what was written about her, what her surviving friends have said, and the remaining artifacts that belonged to her. Also like Anne, she had dreams for the future.
