It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals...Yet I keep them,
because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at
heart...I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up to the heavens,
I think it will come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and
tranquillity will return again. In the meantime, I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps
the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
- Excerpt from Anne Frank's diary, on July 15th, 1944
On August 4, 1944, the Gestapo found the hiding place of the Frank family. Seven
months later, Anne Frank died in Belsen concentration camp in Germany. She was not
yet fifteen years old.
