The last entry in a famous journal was made on this date 61 years ago. Whose journal was it, and what related event began on the same day?

Arpeggionist

It's one of two things: Either it's related to the bomb fropping on Hiroshima, or it's the last entry of Anne Frank's diary before she was arrested with her family. Aug 01 05, 4:42 PM

You've got half of it, Arpeggionist. Keep trying. After all, the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. This question refers to 1944. August 1. Aug 01 05, 5:52 PM
