King Boris III of Bulgaria said to Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German Forgein Minister that the 25 000 jews of Bulgaria wont be transported to Germany. We also need to remember that the two countries are some allies. That day, the dad of Anne couldn't come say the prayers, so her mom went to do it. Anne, when she was asked if it was ok that her mom said the prayers, said no. It shows again the love between Anne and her mom, so not very strong. -

On that day, Heinrich Himmler directed concentration camps so that the jews that can work won't be killed and that the "mentally ill jews" will become the priority for killing. This means that there's less jews that were being killed everyday, but still alot. At the Secret Annexe, the atmosphere isn't the best it could be: everyone is mad and quarrels everyone else. It shows that there's days we just don't get in with the others -

At the US, they need to start the food rationing. At the same day, the Battle of Hill 609, in Tunisia, and which the Americans and Germans battled, ended with the Americans victory.

The japanese submarine I-9 were sunken by the destroyer USS Frazier, close of Kiska, an island. An Indian nationalist,who wanted some aid for independence from United Kingdom, arrived in Japan from a submarine.
