Common card · No. 273566

Alice Marie Harris (March 6, 1932 – August 6, 1942), known under the pseudonym Anna, was an American feral child from Pennsylvania who was raised in isolation. She was abused for being an illegitimate child. From the age of five months to six years, she was kept strapped down in the attic of her home, malnourished and unable to speak or move. She was discovered and rescued in 1938, but died at the age of ten before she was able to fully recover from hemorrhagic jaundice. She is often compared to the feral children cases of Isabelle and Genie.
