Anne Frank, Writer


I can shake off everything as I write:
my sorrows disappear;
my courage is reborn. 


(Anne Frank in 1940, attending a Montessori school)

Anne Frank's diary is a remarkable book, as is her life story, and if you have not seen this TV movie about her life, I highly recommend it! 



Here is the movie trailer:



There is even a tantalizing and brief bit of video here; this is Anne Frank herself, just for a moment: YouTube.



And I add a tweet from January 2017, linking to a Washington Post article from November 2015: Anne Frank and her family were also denied entry as refugees to the U.S.
