1. Anne Frank Marker
Anne Frank et sa sœur Margot sont mortes en mars 1945 dans le camp de Bergen Belsen.
Durant ces deux années de clandestinité, Anne Frank a rédigé un livre témoignage, publié pour la première fois en 1947.
Le Journal d'Anne Frank est aujourd'hui l'un des livres les plus célèbres au monde.
Le 13 mai 1944, Anne y écrivait depuis sa cachette:
«Notre marronnier est totalement en fleur, de haut en bas, il est bourré de feuilles et beaucoup plus beau que l'an dernier»
Ce marronnier est un greffon du véritable marronnier d'Anne Frank.
Il a été planté lors de l'inauguration du jardin Anne Frank le 20 juin 2007 par
Bertrand Delano
Maire de Paris
Pierre Aidenbaum,
Maire du 3 arrondissement
Hans Westra,

Anne Frank lived in hiding from 1942 to 1944 in Amsterdam, where her family, observant Jews, took refuge during the Nazi persecutions. The Franks were denounced, arrested and then deported.
Anne Frank and her sister Margot died in March 1945 in the Bergen Belsen camp.
During these two years in hiding, Anne Frank wrote a book of testimony, published for the first time in 1947.
The Diary of Anne Frank is today one of the most famous books in the world.
On May 13, 1944, Anne wrote from her hiding place:
"Our chestnut tree is completely in bloom, from top to bottom, it is full of leaves and much more beautiful than last year"

Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (12 June 1929 – c. February or March 1945) was a German-born Jewish girl who kept a diary documenting her life in hiding amid Nazi persecution during the German occupation of the Netherlands. A celebrated diarist, Frank described everyday life from her family's hiding place in an Amsterdam attic. She gained fame posthumously and became one of the most-discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust with the 1947 publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis in Dutch, lit. 'the back house'; English: The Secret Annex), which documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944. It is one of the world's best-known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.(Submitted on November 19, 2024.)
