Havana, June 12 (RHC) --The Cuban Book Council remembers that on a day like today, in 1929, the German girl of Jewish descent Annelies Marie Anne Frank, known worldwide as Anne Frank, was born and perished victim of the Nazi Holocaust.

In its Twitter profile, the institution recalls the significance of the famous diary written by Anne Frank while she was hiding in an attic with her family to escape persecution by the Nazis during World War II.

This diary was written by the German girl in times of survival and darkness, in a hiding place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

In this regard, the series "A Small Light", based on the life of the woman who hid Anne, her family and others from the fascist hunt for Jews in Amsterdam, was recently released.

Produced by Nat Geo, the eight-episode series premiered on Star+ and Disney+ last May about Miep Gies, the secretary of Otto Frank, the girl's father, who helped hide them for some time and also saved the diary.

Although there are few productions in the film world about Miep Gies, it is known that her role was very important in the life of the Frank family.

"A small light" is a fictional, biographical work about the woman who saved and took care of Anne Frank's diary, and according to Nat Geo decided to honor with this series the Austrian Miep Gies, later settled in the Netherlands, who died on January 11, 2010, at the age of 100.

After being discovered, Anne Frank was sent to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz on September 2, 1944. She was later sent to Bergen-Belsen, where she died of typhus in mid-February 1945, two months before the camp was liberated.

In 1947, two years after the end of the war, her father published the diary under the title The Secret Annex.
