Olivia Prince (middle) — whose birthday is also May 12 — was credited in helping to create Anne Frank Day in Los Angeles and Burbank. “On Anne Frank Day I hope students all over Burbank will learn that their voices are powerful, and that they can stand up against injustice whenever they see it,” Prince said during the meeting.
