. . . everything can be taken from a man except one thing: the last of the human freedoms–to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
On this date — September 2 — in 1944, Anne Frank was among 1,019 people on the 68th and last train from Holland to Auschwitz. Anne and others hiding with her had been betrayed and captured a month before and held in the Westerbork detention center.
The Frank family had gone into hiding two years earlier, in July 1942, after Anne’s sister, Margot, received a call-up notice to report for deportation to a labor camp.
Anne was at Auschwitz for two months, then at Bergen-Belsen, where she and Margot died four months later of typhus, just a few weeks before the camp was liberated.
Anne’s father, Otto, was liberated from Auschwitz by the Russian Army on January 27, 1945. His wife, Edith, had died the previous day.
Otto Frank was taken first to Odessa and then to France before being allowed to return to Amsterdam. He did not learn the whereabouts of his daughters until October 24, when he received a letter informing him they had died at Bergen-Belsen.
This unfortunately was not an unusual family trajectory for European Jews in the 1940s. Anne Frank is remembered from among millions of others because she maintained a blog — I mean diary — so that her experiences, what she did, the thoughts she had, and everything she suffered was not lost.
I suppose the same holds true for everyone, with or without a diary — nothing is lost, nothing can be undone . . . and it may be possible for a life that appears to be quite pointless at the time to attain a meaning, a purpose, even through suffering, failure and death . . .
some times i think that i a like anna frank.i think that nobody loves me……….well any way i loved the diary and i wish she never died…<3
WAR is Stupid.

hi everybody,i live in mexico city and i´m a big fan of anne frank, i also think i´m someone´s reincarnation, maybe not hers but someone else´s, i´ve been interested in the holocaust since i was 9, sometimes i think nobody´s as interested as i am,i´ve also had a lot of dreams about concentration camps and i learn german at school and it´s really easy for me, so i hope you guys always bet for peace and respect, because each race has its own enchantment!!!
mr hitler: u r SHIT! i think you really suck! i hope you´re burning in hell!
and you guys always remember, no matter what country you come from, if u r black white or blue, or what your religion is, your name is written in the palm of God´s hand so we r all brothers and sisters to each other, and i hope u guys have faith in a better world, let´s all work together to make that dream come true. and all the ones who said that the nazis were right: GET THAT BULLSHIT OUT OF YOUR HEAD!!!
Anne Frank is the most amazing person u could ever meet! she was and still an inspiration to all! not only from her diary but she was brave and had an amazing quality, she always looked for the best in people even when they wanted to kill her! she is amazing and i wish i would have had the chance to meet her! please tell me what you all think about this!
i feel really bad for the way anne and her family and jewish friends had to live… i only wish she could still be alive i also heard that annd, margot, and their mother died because of a disease and the nazi’s wouldn’t give any medicine is that true? and i also think that this story of anne frank with my with us for the rest of our lives… well that’s all i have to say and good bye.. and let peace be with you, bye anne frank.
i feel your pain SARAH and i wish i could meet her and margot too but… people come and people go… but the way she went… it just isn’t right never was… and it still isn’t Adolf Hitler the worst person i have ever heard, know, and read about i just can’t belive it! but still sarah i love your story and i feel the same way.. well good bye for now hope you all have a good life, live it good and live it long. good bye!
well bella i agree about the hitler and nazi thing but i have 2 things to tell… 1 if u ever heard anne’s favorite line it says “all people of all shapes and sizes are good and have good hearts…” truthfully i believe that and you shouldn’t hate hitler because he was also kind of mental second i think that you should let people belive what they want but just know that if they think that nazi’s were right about killing jews well you guys better have a brain check or somthing… well good bye and good night / morning. 🙂
and one last thing… my 2nd cousins father is jewish and is the same age as anne frank and has the same birth month and day with goodbye and just thought i tell you that =) did anne really have to live with mr. pfeffer? or as in the book mr. dussel?
I LOVE YOU ANNE!!!!!
GOODNIGHT ANNE FRANK AND HER FAMILY AND PEOPLE OF THE EARTH OR GOODMORNING WHATEVER ONE IT IS 🙂 AND I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL ANNE FRANK.. WELL GOOD BYE 🙁 🙂
hi it´s me again, the Mexican girl, i also hate hitler, and bella is right in a way, what i mean is that hitler (i ve been studying him) was very bright but his childhood traumas he kept inside his body poisoned him, he could have done better things and people would admire him a lot now, and bella & ryan, well, i think the nazis are yes crazy, but i it´s not that their thoughts are right or wrong it´s just that they´re not worth it, they don´t do any good on u or other people, like i´ve said before… EACH RACE HAS ITS OWN ENCHANTMENT!!! or beauty however you wanna call it.
well i think you are right paulina each race does have it’s own enchantment and well i still pray for those lives of people now gone or those who have to live with that memory.
The good resource should be brought in bookmarks
Dude Anne Frank is my hero I don’t think that anybody can be her reincarnation because she is one of a kind (no offense for anybody) But honestly nobody will ever go thru what she went thru. It hurts my heart to think about it. I honestly feel so much for her and her family like for some reason it feels like she is a long lost sister.
i would like to send my respects to all the people, survivors or not survivors, who had to go through this, i give them my support and compassion, we, people from the new generations can promise that none of this will happen again.
THANK YOU
i was full of grief when i read the book THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL BY ANNE FRANK it touched my heart so deeply , the hitler third reiche made the jewish slaughtered mercilessly , but couldnt succeed and died hellishly though i m the aryan we dont differentiate human in race or color but hitler was a racist extremist. so he got his reward. dying like a street dog.
I love u Anne frank,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,whn will me meet?
NOT YET SO FAR, NOT YET SO FARRRRRRRRRRRRR……………………..
i´m also glad he got his reward but it was too late, and now we are still living the consequences of that war
