Anne Frank was born the same year as Martin Luther King Jr.
Born in 1929, Anne Frank lived only 15 short years, with the last few spent hiding from the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She and her mother and sister were betrayed, transported to concentration camps, and died. Anne Frank became internationally famous when her diary, which documented her experiences during the war, was published by her father in 1947. In the same year, Martin Luther King, Jr., at 18 years of age, decided to enter the ministry of the Baptist church, in order to answer an “inner urge to serve humanity.” King was a prominent leader in the African American Civil Rights movement, perhaps best known for his oratory skills and his belief in non-violent civil disobedience. King was assassinated in 1968 at the age of 39.
