Today‘s section in our #TreeADay reading. My question to you is if you have read the tagged book, any factual history or historical fiction set during WWII how you cannot see the parallels from that time to this? What is keeping you from recognizing how our freedoms are being taken away piece by piece? It is happening again and you are not only cheering for it you are praising God for it. God help us all.

It was good but the ending wasn‘t super satisfying, it felt like a lot of loose ends, as well as Anne being quite whiny and ungrateful at times, it almost felt disrespectful to read at times.

One of the few interviews by Anne Frank‘s father.

I had the unique experience of reading this diary when I was the same age as Anne Frank when she wrote the first entry. I am also half German. The impact, to say the least, was profound. War, no matter where, no matter when, affects and victimizes children the most. When will we ever learn??? 💔

I first read my dad‘s copy of this diary in the mid 90s when I was in my teens. Not long after, the uncensored version was published containing according to the introduction 25% more of her diary. Her dad removed a lot of the things Anne wrote about her mother. Anne started her dairy when she turned 13 and had just turned 15 when it ended, a lot of the stuff about her mum shows a teenage girl growing up; no one understands me, no one loves me.
