I've just re-read it. I think I first read it when I was just slightly younger than Anne. My mum gave it to me. Said : "READ, spoiled brat."
They so nearly made it, the Franks. I'm bewitched by her. It's a young girl's diary, but I feel as though she is speaking to me. She makes me feel that we are two girls, sitting cross-legged on the floor and gossiping together. A Jewish girl and a lapsed Catholic a generation apart.
She talks about the Jewish population and that rule that they had to sew yellow stars of David on their clothing. That bothered her more than anything, but then, she was so young. She talks about the 'boy' who was also holed up with them and her infatuation. She talks about her first period and how difficult it was when the lived in a cordoned off attic...
Please read it.
They were betrayed and taken to Auschwitz, where her mother died. Anna and her little sister Margo were moved to Bergen-Belsen. They died of Typhus.
Otto Frank ( her father) survived. He gathered up the loose pages of her diary.
I think that my father would have done that, too. But my dad was only a teenager, conscripted into the RAF. By then Anne was probably dead.
