During WWII, Juneteenth celebrations spread throughout the United States as Black citizens sought freedom at home—the same freedom they were fighting for abroad.

#OTD 93 years ago, #AnneFrank was born. For millions, she is their window into the Holocaust. Her diary was a treasured 13th birthday gift. Though she wrote most of it while in hiding from the Nazis, Anne inspires us with her ability to believe in the enduring power of hope.

#OTD in 1942, a team of Nazi saboteurs landed in New York with orders to create havoc by attacking key US infrastructure. One of the saboteurs turned himself in and helped the FBI capture the others. Six Nazis were executed and buried in a secret cemetery in Washington, D.C.

Lee Miller strikes a pose! Vogue model and 1940s it-girl, Miller also served as a WWII war correspondent. “Naturally, I took pictures,” she said in a 1946 interview. “What’s a girl supposed to do when a battle lands in her lap?”

This week in #history (1944): Martha Gellhorn was the only woman to land on the Normandy beaches (alongside 150,000 men). She was a journalist but her request to come along had been denied, so she stowed away in a toilet and then disguised herself as a stretcher bearer. #OTD
