Anne Frank (1929-1945) was a German-born Jewish girl who became famous for her diary documenting her life in hiding during World War II. She was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. Anne and her Jewish family went into hiding in Amsterdam in 1942 to escape Nazi persecution. They lived in a secret annex for two years before being discovered and deported to concentration camps. Anne died in Bergen-Belsen in early 1945, but her father survived and later published her diary, "The Diary of a Young Girl," which has since become a classic of war literature.
It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It's utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I'll be able to realize them!
