As a child always struck me that book with deep-eyed girl on the cover. Regular my aunt's bookstore, I devoured all the titles still very small ... but I do not know why, always avoided the girl with the sad eyes watching from the cover of the book that read "Diary of Anne Frank."
I must confess that I never available reading. But I checked a few pages more than once. So I understood its value as a historical document, but above all, I discovered some things about the girl look languid.
Those deep into the story of Anne Frank, can enjoy the profound significance of irrelevant situations: for example, that days before the age of 13 she has brought to his father a red notebook in a showcase. A simple red cloth bound book of pictures and a small lock.
Or it began, in this notebook, the journal with a "Dear Kitty" in the absence of a close friend. It is in these letters to the absent friend in which we discover how oppression is increasing, the atmosphere is thinning its environment and sentimental stories and adolescents, boys, girls are turning into the story of war, persecution, Closure ... wrote to the last day that remained hidden.
The end is just like Wikipedia says. Do not adorn or cut. Simply copy:
"October 28 selection began to relocate to women in Bergen-Belsen. More than 8,000 women, Anne Frank, Margot Frank and Auguste van Pels included, were transported, but Edith Frank was left behind. Tents were erected to accommodate the influx of prisoners, including Anne and Margot, and as the population increased the death rate due to disease increased rapidly. Anne could get together for a brief period with two friends, Hanneli Pick Goslar (named "Lies" in the diary) and Nanette Blitz, who survived the war. Anne told how, naked except for a piece of cloth, he explained that, infested with lice, had been stripped of their clothes. She was described as bald, gaunt and trembling, but despite his illness he said he was more concerned about Margot, whose condition was more serious. Goslar and Blitz did not see Margot who remained in his bunk, too weak. Also, Anne said that they were alone, and that their parents had died. In March 1945, a typhoid epidemic swept through the area, estimated that ended the lives of 17,000 prisoners. Witnesses later told Margot, weakened as he was, he fell off his bunk and died as a result of the coup, and few days later Anne died too. A few weeks before the camp was liberated by British troops on April 15, 1945. "
Today I saw the girl with sad eyes. And on the cover of a book, but in the first video we have of it. A neighbor of his was published some video of her marriage in which Anna appears at the window waving.
That strange feeling. How sad history. How sad our history.
