. . . 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 . . .

me entristeço ao lembrar q essa menina morreu de um jeito tao cruel,mas nao perco as esperanças de que um dia encontrarei com ela no céu e esclarecerei todas as minha dúvidas sobre oq aconteceu…
coragem,justa e acima de tudo realista e sonhadora….
são essas as qualidades mais irradiantes q Anne teve….

I feel Bad for anne frank, she was so young……..
EVER SINCE I SAW THE “ORIGIONAL” MOVIE OF {ANNE FRANK) I NEVER THOUGH PEOPLE HAD THE CAPACITY TO BE SO COLD HARTED AND BRUTIAL. BUT I WAS VERY YOUNG AND INNOSENT, I THINK I WAS TEN OR THIRTEEN AT THE TIME AND IT AMMAZES ME THAT ALL THAT ANNE EXPEREANCED SHE CAN STILL HAVE “FAITH IN MAN KIND.” ANYONE OF US WOULD BE BITTER AND ANGRY. ANNE WAS AND IS “TRUELY A CHILD OF GOD” AND THIS IS ALL THAT GOD EXPECTS OF US,KEEP THE LOVE AND BOOT THE HATE. dcsp hoboken n.j.
Hi!!!
we learned about the holocoust in school and we watched anne frank the movie
i was so sad
how can ppl do stuff like that????!!!!!
just amagine, what would happen if anne frank lived threw the holocoust
don’t you think her diary wouldn’t have been published
or maybe since she wanted it to be published before she got tooken she still would have published it
well, the world will never know
all i have to say anne frank is a great role moddel for young girls
PS those ppl that say that you act like her and stuff well, i bet you don’t no one can act like anne she is a person that no one can copy just buy acting like her
also be happy that that stuff is all behinde us now what do you think would have happend if the Americans and the Russians didn’t come and save the day?
?????????????????????
Hi!
me again
did you know that some ppl don’t think the holocoust really happended!!!
that is why others who know it really did happen are trying to educate those who don’t believe it really happened!!
that is so cool
PS Anne, you are so awsome i can’t believe how you went threw all that you did
and Otto Frank, thanks for publishing Anne’s diary if it wasn’t for you, no one would have known about anne
PSS what about all the other kids that were in the holocoust, they should get a bit of respect too
I believe that it is possible to recall past lives. I have very vivid recollections of being a prisioner and finally escaping on a bus. These visions are very clear. As a young girl, the Diary of Anne Frank was my favorite book that I have ever read. I lived in the Netherlands for 3.5 years. My father-in-law was a neighbor of Anne in Amsterdam. I took a train to Germany and I couldn’t leave fast enough. But, I would never claim to be Anne’s reincarnate… but perhaps someone out there is? The world is full of mystery.
Anne Margot otto edith(annes mom)and everones else who lived in the annex god bless you all and forever hold ur peace. you guys inspier me and i want to be as brave as u guys r . anne and margot and everyone suffered so much……and u know what……. we should be glad that we are still alive!
r.i.p
i love you anne margot……. and everyone else who was in the holocost.
its me again…… i forgot anyone who talkes crap about anne sucks!!!!! and i bet alot of people will have my back on dis website!!!!!!!!!!if ur writ say……….right katherine!!!!!!!!!!!!
ya what katherine said i think that is like so totaly think its messed up 4 people to talk bed about anyone in general that you dont know that have suffered sooo much and ya. so all i wanted to say is you go katherine !!!!!!!!!!!
I first read the Diary Of Anne Frank years ago – when in school – and I have since reread it and many other books on the subject. Anne was a very couragious young woman at a time when the world was at war (not much has changed since, no? War is hell for all concerned!) and compared to many her age these days – she was very, very articulate. Much can be learned from her.
