Google Doodle: Google Honours Anne Frank, A Jewish German-Dutch Diarist

The doodles were created by Google Doodle art director Thoka Maer

Google is back with its new doodle, on Saturday Google has honoured Jewish German-Dutch diarist Anne Frank. Anne Frank's diary, which was written by her between the age of 13 and 15, was published 75 years ago on this day.

In her diary, Anne described the holocaust that she survived, and the events of the war - one of the most impactful and widely read narratives to date.

According to its officials, Google's search engine has celebrated Anne Frank with an animated slideshow on the 75th anniversary of the publication of her diary--"The Diary of a Young Girl." Google's Doodle about Anne Frank describes what she and her family members witnessed during the Nazi oppression. The hiding place was located in her father's office building.

The doodles were created by Google Doodle art director Thoka Maer. The German illustrator noted her sense of responsibility to preserve the memory of the Holocaust as a major factor in the illustration process.

While taking notes from Anne's life, she was born on 12 June 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany, but her family soon moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, to escape the discrimination and violence faced by millions of minorities at the hands of the rising Nazi Party.

In the spring of 1942, Anne with her family members along with her four Jewish friends was hiding in a secret annexe in their father's office building to avoid persecution.

According to an AFP report, Anne's "The Diary of a Young Girl," has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide since it was first published on 25 June 1947 and has been translated into 67 languages.
