"I've learned one thing: you can only really get to know a person after a fight. Only then can you judge their true character!" —Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation

The graphic edition of Anne Frank's timeless diary remains faithful to the original, while the stunning illustrations interpret and add layers of visual meaning and immediacy to this classic work of Holocaust literature.

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

— Anne Frank

(One of the first and best books I ever read. Rip Anne Frank 💐)

[litandlifequotes]

In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.

Milestone Monday

On this day, June 12 in 1942, the German-Dutch Jewish diarist Anne Frank (1929-1945) received a diary for her thirteenth birthday while in hiding with her family during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Frank and her family were famously captured by the Gestapo two years later in 1944 and transported to various concentration camps, where at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp Anne and her sister Margot died a few months later, probably of typhus.

The diary, which Anne Frank edited and rewrote portions of for an intended reading public, was retrieved by two women who helped hide the family and given to Frank's father Otto Frank, the family's only survivor, after the war ended and Anne's death was confirmed. The diary's ultimate publication in 1947 made Anne Frank one of the most-discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and arguably one of the most celebrated diarists in Western history.

The diary was originally published in Amsterdam by Contact Publishing under the Dutch title Het Achterhuis, which is usually translated as The Secret Annex but literally means "the house behind" or "back of the house." We hold the first French edition, published as Journal de Anne Frank in Paris by Calmann-Lévy in 1950, and the first American edition, translated by Barbara Mooyaart-Doubleday and published as The Diary of a Young Girl in Garden City, New York, by Doubleday & Company in 1952, with an introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt. In a prelude to her diary, which she dates 12 June 1942, Anne Frank writes:

I hope I shall be able to confide in you completely, as I have never been able to do in anyone before, and I hope that you will be a great support and comfort to me.

“It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”

— Anne Frank, “The Diary of a Young Girl”

Audrey Hepburn: an Icon for the Ages

It's easy to admire Audrey Hepburn's grace and beauty but her bravery during World War II isn't praised or talked about enough. She actively supported the Dutch Resistance even though both of her parents were Nazi sympathizers. (Her mother's allegiance eventually changed after Audrey's uncle was taken and executed by the regime, but there was a time when she kept a framed photo of herself at Hitler's Munich headquarters.) There's one account where Audrey, as a 15-year-old, delivered a message to help an Allied fighter pilot whose plane had been shot down. She also distributed the Resistance newspaper on bicycle, the paper half the size of a napkin hidden in her socks. More often, she participated in "black evenings", secret gatherings with blacked-out windows to raise funds in support of those sheltering Jews. During these events, she performed ballet to no applause… for everyone's safety. Her family also temporarily sheltered a British paratrooper in their home during the Battle of Arnhem.

After the war, a neighbor who worked at a publishing company let her read a manuscript. It was written by a girl her age; who shared her love for dance, books, and nature; and was also in the Netherlands when the war broke out. This was Anne Frank's diary. Years later, she would be offered the movie role of the young Jewish girl by Anne's own father and publisher, Otto Frank. Even though she was double Anne's age by then, she was still his and the director's first choice. Afraid to relive the horrors of war and how it might destroy her, she turned the offer down.

Audrey could have been a prima ballerina. She qualified for a scholarship in a leading British dance company but the effects of wartime malnourishment pushed her towards acting and modeling instead. Her waif-like figure, so perfect in those Givenchy dresses, was actually a result of starvation. No longer so enviable in that light.

The Secret People (the movie this clip is taken from) was a flop, but it was her first major acting role and led to her getting the part in Roman Holiday. More importantly, it let her showcase the one thing she loved most: dance.

Probably lots more but these are the ones I remember from the top of my head and that I haven't fully read, because there's other books I do want to reread.

...so long as I have that happiness here, the joy in nature, health and a lot more besides, all the while one has that, one can always recapture happiness.
