August 25, 2009 07:53 PM | Location: United Kingdom Response: When I read the book I had no idea of the family history which my own father had been witholding from me.As an 18 year old British soldier he was one of the first to enter and liberate Belsen. Anne died a short time prior to his arrival.My father returned from Germany after a period of "recuperation" in the Hurst? Mountains. He never told a soul of what he had witnessed until 1986 when 3 of our family were killed in a car crash and he had counselling. I had no idea that he had not "just trained as a tank driver & then the war was finished anyway". |

In fact, it wasn't even called the Holocaust then. As I read, I felt that Anne and I would have been good friends. Her experiences with her friends and school were similar to mine. Although I knew Anne had long ago died, reading her last entry was still a shock. I questioned my parents about concentration camps and Hitler, but they thought it wasn't "healthy" for me to be interested in such things. Dad was rather annoyed at Mom for allowing me to read Anne's book.
Over the years, I bought every book about Anne that I could find. I still re-read the diary every few years. When my own daughter was a teenager, reading about Anne's problems with her mother helped me understand my daughter better. |

May she continue to touch people's lives. |

She inspired me to start a diary of my own. i even named d diary anne. While i could never for sure understand how it was to live in her time as a jew, i was able to relate greatly to most of her feelings as a young teenager. |

The fact that the holocaust happened and that we must never forget is something that we must drive into the thinking of today's young people. If Anne, despite it all, could conclude that good still existed in the heart of mankind, then who are we to ever complain. |
