In her diary, Anne shares her thoughts and dreams, revealing a remarkable talent that was tragically taken from the world, along with millions of other lives during the Holocaust.

Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 12, 1929. She moved with her family to the Netherlands in 1933, after her father was offered a generous business opportunity. The move was also a tactical one for a Jewish family, as Germany, under the rule of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, was becoming more hostile toward Jewish people by the day. Unable to find passage out of the Netherlands, Anne and her family went into hiding in 1942. The Diary of a Young Girl is her parting gift to the world.

The Warmth of Other Suns (2010) tells the story of the Great Migration – the biggest inner-border mass migration in US history. From 1915 to 1970, millions of Black Americans left the Jim Crow South in search of a better life in Northern cities. Focusing on the lives of three of those migrants, these blinks paint a vivid picture of the fears, hopes, and dreams that shaped the movement.

Why Love Matters (2004) is a study of how our early years shape who we become later in life. But this isn’t about rehashing the old nature-versus-nurture debate. As we’ll see in these blinks, the weight of scientific evidence points to a much more fascinating conclusion: that we’re “co-produced” by genetics and social experience during babyhood. This means that many of the social and psychological problems that affect us as adults can be traced back to these formative years.
