Annelies Marie Frank´s diary!

in #life7 years ago

Hello dear friends of steemit!

Some years ago I was struck by the fact that, with such inspiration, a friend read a book.

My curiosity led me to ask him:

What is it about?

His response was very passionate and he told me to discover it myself. The book is entitled The Diary of Anne Frank; without knowing everything that this name kept -yes, I am a little ignorant as far as history is concerned- I waited patiently for my friend to finish reading it and after a few days she gave me the opportunity to appreciate the writing.

This is the newspaper that tells in its pages "the story of a girl who lived during the Second World War", written by herself during those events giving her point of view and telling her experiences after the war, it was a gift he received on June 12, 1942 on his birthday No. 12 from his older sister Margot Frank.

Annelies Marie Frank (in Spanish, is better known as Anne Frank) wrote while hiding with her family "The Frank" the family "Van Pels" all his experiences in the enclosure that he had in a small annex in the company where he worked father in Amsterdam, Holland
for two years because of their Jewish ancestry and the rejection of them by the Hitler government.

During this time of going unnoticed, Ana described each and every one of her thoughts and feelings according to the situations that arose in their coexistence, being a teenager of only 13 years of age wrote with passion and with great eloquence, yearning to be in the future writer

This dream was frustrated thanks to the war and the persecution to which his family was subjected, the story is so shocking that at first I found it hard to believe that it was real or that it was not manipulated with the publication of the newspaper.

Ana, called her diary "Kitty" and said it was her best friend, so she told, as anyone, in its pages the day to day in hiding, some anecdotes are:

  • Ana told that her mother did not understand her, that carrying her was not easy and her affection was small (part and part).

  • The son of the Van Pels: Peter, who at that time hidden and living in the same "home" seemed a silly child, sometimes very attached to his mother and criticized many times by Ana herself, became what she claims to be her first illusion, they shared many moments together, in fact they agreed to meet to see the sky and birds through a small window that was their only contact with the outside world.

  • The arrival of the dentist Fritz Pfeffer: he joined the two families later, so he had to occupy a space in the small hiding place and Ana described in his diary that this one annoyed him, one of his complaints was because he took the table where she sat every day to write and read, which angered her as she took it as an invasion of her privacy.

  • Ana used pseudonyms in her diary to refer to people who were hiding with her, since she always intended to publish it as a novel.

In conclusion, Ana had faith and hope that the war would end and thus be able to fulfill her goals, unfortunately after 2 years in prison they were discovered by the Germans and were dispersed to concentration camps initially in Auschwitz, then she was deported and separated from her parents with their sister Margot, and both died of serious illnesses, the only survivor of the 8 refugees was Otto Frank, Ana's father, who was given the diary by Miep Gies, who helped them hide and get food in the time they were hidden, I keep the newspaper without reading it and then said that if I had known everything that the newspaper related, I would not have given it to Otto.

Years later, "the secret annex" was converted into a museum, and today it is visited by thousands of tourists.
