As we know Anne Frank and her family were hidden for a long time during the second world war, because they were Jews and wanted to escape the horrors of the holocaust. In her diary, Anne claims that she had a difficult relationship with her mother, but had a strong connection with her father who was the person she most identified with and had admiration for. Anne believed that her relationship with her father was stronger than her relationship with other members of the hiding place.
The diary of a Jewish girl hidden during World War II has become a totemic symbol of the Holocaust, a monument to the 6 million Jews killed and a talisman for victims of persecution worldwide. But Anne Frank was much more than a symbol. The teenager whose refusal to be destroyed by fear or despair in the face of the darkest persecution is a triumph of humanity, the mark of a truly heroic soul.
