I'm not questioning your hero or your beliefs. I'm just curious.

You said "At the same time I would like to think that in the same situation I would do the same thing, however deep down I am not sure that I would have." So ... what exactly did she DO? Sometimes I think she gets a bit too much credit. Her diary is amazing because it shows a young girl dealing with the things all young girls deal with but under very different circumstances. And her end is very sad, but many people's were. I'm just wondering what she did that was so spectacular.

I hope you get to see the exhibit! I actually read about it today in the paper.

I hope all is well with you.

The out look she had on life at the time was a huge thing that she did. I have read a lot about children of that age during the Holocust and many of them did not have the same look on the situation that she did. Yes, she did have what we would like to call a "normal" teenage years however, she had hers with the fear all the time of being caught, which in and itself is a HUGE thing ( ... )

I have the book, and I think it is great. I agree that it is a good way of showing the historical perspective. I guess since she wrote it as her own personal DIARY, with no intentions of publishing it, it just bothers me that she gets the most credit whereas there are SO many books from those that lived and died during this time and she is the most famous. I don't know, I can't explain it!

I will so donate $1.00 ... it should get you SOME gas to get you to airport to start your journey. :)
