Being prescribed to stay in bed and travel not far than kitchen I felt miserable, but in few days realized the advantages of my state. “There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind…”, says Mr. Frank to his daughter Anne. Due to illness I cannot communicate with my friends but I can write notes and then share them in my blog or on my Facebook page… when you have much free time, you think about and notice such details that mostly walked over in a rush.

Among the books I brought with me there was ‘Enjoying literature’ with lots of examples from American, English and Western literature. I stopped on a short play based on “The Diary of Anne Frank”, a real-life diary kept for two years by Anne Frank, a young girl born in Germany in 1929.

“Not long after Anne`s birth, the Nazi party came to power in Germany. To escape the cruel treatment of Hitler and the Nazis, the Franks, like many other Jews, moved to Holland. There, in Amsterdam, Anne and her older sister, Margot grew up in the 1930s and early 1940s.

As a present for her thirteenth birthday, on June 12, 1942, Anne received a diary. Within a month she wrote in it, “So much has happened; it is just as if the whole world had turned upside down.” For by then World War II was raging, and Hitler had conquered Holland. The Nazi terror had followed the Franks to their new homeland. The Nazis soon began rounding up Jews to send them to concentration camps in Central Europe. Eventually millions of Jews died in these camps.

To escape that fate, the Franks went into hiding. Dutch friends helped establish the family in a “secret annex,” several attic rooms above a warehouse in Amsterdam. In that small space the Franks and a few friends lived secretly for more than two years – specifically, for seven hundred and fifty-nine days and nights from July 6, 1942, to August 4, 1944. During that time Anne continued writing in her diary.

By the summer of 1944, the Allied forces had begun to win the war against Nazi Germany. However, not long before the Allies freed Holland, the annex where the Franks were hiding was discovered. Police broke into the apartment, arrested the Franks and their friends and sent them to distant concentration camps. Anne Frank died in the camp at Belsen in March 1945, shortly before the British freed it. She was not yet sixteen years old.

Of the people who hid in the secret attic, all but Anne`s father died. After the war Mr. Frank returned to Amsterdam. He revisited the rooms in which his family had hidden so courageously for so long. Among the rubbish that had been left behind, he found his daughter`s precious diary… ”
