A sapling from the tree mentioned by Anne Frank in her diary was planted at Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Memorial and Museum. Anne Frank famously documented her experiences while hiding with her family from the Nazis in Amsterdam. She was captured in 1945, and she and her sister died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp later that year. After the tree from her diary collapsed in 2010, the Anne Frank House, a museum dedicated to the young diarist, decided to donate saplings from it to Yad Vashem and other museums.
Anne Frank's childhood friend and Holocaust survivor, Hannah Pick (sometimes known as Hanneli Pick-Goslar), came to the planting ceremony near the Children's Memorial and International School for Holocaust Studies. Mrs Pick said, "She asked if I can help with some food, and I could, and that was an accident really because the Red Cross for the first time sent us a little package and I had left something. And when I came for the fourth time to speak with her everything was empty, the SS again had moved her, later and I learned she had died in Bergen-Belsen, but I couldn't know where."
