Anne & Emmett

Two teenagers, living worlds apart . . .

A Jewish girl, with her parents, hiding

from the Nazis in Amsterdam. . .

A Black boy, living outside Chicago . . .

The girl, studiously writing a diary, week

after week, month after month, which she kept secret,

even from her parents. . .

The Black boy, wanting to visit distant relatives

in Mississippi. . .

How the girl and her family were finally captured

by the Nazis and she how died in a Nazi death camp at 15 . . .

How the Black boy from Chicago was lynched in

Mississippi at 14 . . .

How the publication of the girls's diary, found after her death,

and how the decision by the boy's mother, about his funeral,

changed the world.
