German-born Anne Frank lived in Amsterdam with her family during WWII and kept a diary while in hiding from Nazi persecution. Now in Amsterdam City Hall, visitors can see diaries of Ukrainian children who are witnesses to war.
The plight of children caught in the war in Ukraine has already attracted widespread international condemnation. More than 500 have been killed, according to Ukrainian officials. / Photo: AP
