2I hope I will be able to confide everything to
you, as I have never been able to confide in
anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of
comfort and support.
3Since youve never been through a war, Kitty,
and since you know very little about life in
hiding, in spite of my letters, let me tell you,
just for fun, what we each want to do first when
were able to go outside againId be so
overjoyed I wouldnt know where to begin
4Alls fair in love and war
- All Jews were required to
- wear a yellow star
- turn it their bicycles
- do their shopping between 3 and 5 PM
- go to only Jewish owned Barber Shops and Beauty
Parlors - attend Jewish Schools
5but you have to make sacrifices for a good
causeif we can save even one of our friends, the
rest doesnt matter,
- All Jews were forbidden to
- go to Theaters, Movies or any other forms of
entertainment - ride in cars even their own
- Use athletic fields
- take part in any athletic activity in public
- be on the streets between 8 PM and 6AM
- Sit in their gardens after 800 PM
- Visit Christians in their homes
- use street cars
6Its like the slave hunts of the olden days
"You couldn't do this you couldn't do that but
life went on"
This is because of the Nuremberg Laws
7God has not forsaken me, and He never will.
8It wont do us or those outside any good if we
continue to be as gloomy as we are now.
This is one of the last pictures taken of Anne
and her sister before they went into hiding
9I now know that courage and happiness are needed
first!
- Volksempfanger Transistor Radio
- The Radio of the people
- 75 of all households had one
- Mass produced by Hitler
- Helped keep everyone informed
- Kept up morale
10Leave me alone, let me have at least one night
when I dont cry myself to sleep with my eyes
burningall day long I hear nothing but what an
exasperating child I am
11its not easy being the badly brought-up center
of attention of a family of nitpickers.
Anne and Margot Frank in 1932
sometime Ill treat others with the same
contempt as they treated mesounds childish, but
wait till it happens to you!
12Weve got to be reasonable about everything we
do here
The Frank family in 1940
263 Prinsengracht - The Annex
13I have more experience than most I have
experienced something almost no one my age ever
has.
Up to now our bedroom, with its blank walls, was
very bare. Thanks to Father who brought my
entire postcard and movie star collection here
beforehand and to a brush and pot of glue, I was
able to plaster the wall with pictures. It looks
much more cheerful.
14Misfortunes never come singly.
The hinged bookshelf that hid the Frank family in
the Annex
15Oh, its hard to be strong and brave in every
way
The helpers, from left to right Mr. Kleiman,
Miep Gies, Bep Voskuijl, and Mr. Kugler.
16many are waiting for death.
Over one million children under the age of
sixteen died in the Holocaust.
17Its twice as hard for us young people to hold
on to our opinions at a time when ideals are
being shattered and destroyed, when the worst
side of human nature predominates, when everyone
has come to doubt truth, justice and God.
18we live in a paradise compared to the Jews who
arent in hiding.
the end is nowhere in sight. As for us, were
quite fortunate.
Jews were separated in to groups of those who
could work and those who could not. Those who
could not would die
19We were caught in a vicious circle of
unpleasantness and sorrow.
- Always cautious
- Crowded
- All ways the risk of being caught
- No bathtubs
- She lost her childhood and had to grow up very
quickly - Food was scarce
- Constant argument
- Little or no activity
- Dependent on outsiders for survival
Despite all these circumstances, the people
living in the annex still tried to lead normal
lives
You can be lonely even when youre loved by many
people, since you are still not anybodys one
and only
20Ifeel like a songbird whose wings have been
ripped off and who keeps hurling itself against
the bars of its dark cage
I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at
the world, feel young and know that Im free.
21The most you can do is pray for God to perform a
miracle and save at least some of them
Anne and her family spent 25 months hiding in the
Annex over her fathers office in Amsterdam
