Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction. - Anne Frank

No one is spared. The sick, the elderly, children, babies, and pregnant women - all marched to their death.

En begint er nog tijdens dat gevecht al tweedracht te komen, is toch de Jood weer minder dan de ander?

I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
