. . . 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 . . .
Am vazut filmul “Jurnalul Annei Frank”. Am ramas socat de ororile si tragediile prin care au trecut, secunda cu secunda, acesti copii. Este inimaginabil cum o haita de nazisti imbecili a putut sa savarseasca asemenea acte de cruzime. Este peste puterile unei intelegeri rationale sa poti, fara resentimente, sa executi, sa torturezi si sa ucizi prin gazare copii nevinovati, care nu au puterea si forta de a se apara, care nu doresc decat sa fie lasati sa traiasca langa parintii lor si care au fost asasinati doar pentru ca nu faceau parte din rasa “ariana”.
Dumnezeu sa o ierte pe Anne Frank si pe toti cei 1.500.000 de suflete nevinovate de copii care nu au mai reusit sa-si duca visele la indeplinire si sa speram ca nu vom mai avea parte de asemenea popoare care sa nasca un nou Hitler.
None of you are Anne Frank reincarnated. You only think you are because you’ve read about her and it gets to your head. Reincarnation is more than just having weird dreams or anything like that. Pay some respect for the dead and keep your pointless comments to yourself.
