Thoughts and Reflections of the writer after a recent memorable visit to Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam, Holland. Anne wrote a diary as a touching memorial and account of life while hiding during the Nazi occupation of Holland during WW II.

"...I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend against its force....My love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day..."
(Og Mandino)

For 2 years a Hiding Place of secrecy for a young 13 year old girl, her family and friends

Worn Cloth of Yellow Stars
A small room, walkway, and a false bookcase
for the hiding place

A worn precious Diary, bound with red-and-white plaid cloth
with a small lock on the front

Never going outside
Writes of school life, boys, family, a new love and friends, an imaginary friend
deepest thoughts and feelings
used to hide from the hand of oppression and persecution
during a most dangerous of times under penalty of death

Confidential beliefs and ambitions,
Discovered----Now a betrayal of trust by mystery informant

Final diary entry August 1, 1944

Then an ending journey to a concentration camp

Where fate and an inevitable end met
A Child’s Voice on parchments of paper never to be forgotten

Years later and 25 million copies in 50 languages,

A Legacy preserved for future generations.

No more, no more.

"Whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!" (from The Diary of a Young Girl)
