Interesting Reads: Anne Frank

One should not guess when it comes to what would Anne Frank do if she was not writing her diary. I for sure would think that she must be either blogging or being active in social network doing social things. She for sure would not have thought that she would end up famous while writing her diary during the worst period of her life. The diary reflected her innocence as she was not aware of what is going on in the real world. One if does not know his/her surroundings well will not really appreciate what is in it. As Sigmund says often writer and a poet was there before him. Very few can go in uncharted territories and beautifully write, paint or narrate it as their mind knows what they are seeing. William Shakespeare is a one of such a kind and many will definitely enjoy his work.

 Human mind knows very little of the universe as told in the Melissa McCarthy Ghost Busters movie. I must agree with that. One cannot really appreciate what the world has to offer without knowing anything about it. The Diary of Anne Frank was all naivety. One being absolutely naive about the harsh realities of life writes about it. I had the book and i chose not to proceed with it for a reason. The reason was it is better to not to know any thing than to know something. One should know what was the whole thing all about. Only very few till date know what the whole thing was all about. All one can do is absorb whatever the world knows but not reflection or take a child's reflection in ones thought process. 

Human mind and our consciousness is a strange thing. All of us like it or not are fooling ourselves. I firmly believe that we all are fooling ourselves. Man is tricking his own mind in believing something which is not really out there Security. All have the same pattern in their thought process Think - Feel and Act. This paradigm of thinking is not going to change or alter for any living thing on planet earth. I should not write about security after seeing what is there out there in this Dog eat Dog world. Man is tricking himself with Constructive Autosuggestions which is then embedded in his subconscious. If one starts to react after seeing what is really going on it will be very difficult for man to sustain. 

Man is tricking his own mind with constructive autosuggestions just like Anne Frank. Taking any decision in such a given situation will never guarantee results. The reason i need to write about Anne Frank is because of the of recent research that sheds a different light on the tale of Anne Frank. Her tale is important as she has her own very museum in Amsterdam. A tour is given to audiences which details her life story in brief. Any current research on her life makes it very important. 

The recent research is that Anne Frank may have been caught by chance and not betrayed. 

Few points taken from her life which adds to the current revelation.  

The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis; English: The Secret Annex), which documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. 

1. The Franks were among 300,000 Jews who fled Germany between 1933 and 1939.^[

2.  Born a German national, Frank lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless.

3. In May 1940, Germany invaded the Netherlands, and the occupation government began to persecute Jews by the implementation of restrictive and discriminatory laws; mandatory registration and segregation soon followed.^[14] Otto Frank tried to arrange for the family to emigrate to the United States – the only destination that seemed to him to be viable – but this possibility was blocked from June 1941, as the U.S. government was concerned that people with close relatives still in Germany could be blackmailed into becoming Nazi spies.

By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands

4. As persecution of the Jewish population  increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father worked. 

5. For her thirteenth birthday on 12 June 1942, Frank received a book she had shown her father in a shop window a few days earlier. Although it was an Autograph book bound with red-and-white checkered cloth  and with a small lock on the front, Frank decided she would use it as a diary and began writing in it almost immediately. In her entry dated 20 June 1942, she lists many of the restrictions placed upon the lives of the the Jewish population.

Entries from her diary

I finally realized that I must do my schoolwork to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that's what I want! I know I can write ..., but it remains to be seen whether I really have talent ... And if I don't have the talent to write books or newspaper articles, I can always write for myself. But I want to achieve more than that. I can't imagine living like Mother, Mrs. van Daan and all the women who go about their work and are then forgotten. I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to! ...

7. Frank aspired to become a journalist, writing in her diary till Wednesday, 5 April 1944: From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944. 

Recent research then catches on Anne Frank may have been caught by chance and not betrayed. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. In October or November 1944, Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred to concentration camps and where they died (probably of Typhus) a few months later.
