'It is utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering, and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions.

And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I'll be able to realize them!!'

Anne Frank Remembered

The situation is this: I'm not jealous of either you or Peter. I'm just sorry I haven't found anyone with whom to share my thoughts and feelings, and I'm not likely to in the near future. But that's why I wish, from the bottom of my heart, that you will both be able to place your trust in each other. Star early literacy scoring guide.

'Usually joins in the conversation, never fails to give his opinion. Once he's spoken, his word is final. If anyone dares to suggest otherwise, he can put up a good fight. Oh, he can hiss like a cat.

But I'd rather he didn't. Once you've seen it, you never want to see it again. His opinion is the best, he knows the most about everything. Granted, the man has a good head on his shoulders, but it's swelled to no small degree.'

- Anne's thoughts on Herman van Pelz as recorded into her diary on August 9, 1943. 'As if I don't hear 'shh, shh' enough during the day because I'm always making 'too much' noise, my dear roommate has come up with the idea of saying 'shh, shh' to me all night too. According to him, I shouldn't even turn over. I refuse to take any notice of him, and the next time he shushes me, I'm going to shush him right back. He gets more exasperating and egotistical as the days go on. Except for the first week, I haven't seen even one of the cookies he so generously promised me. He's particularly infuriating on Sundays, when he switches on the light at the crack of dawn to exercise for ten minutes.'

- Anne Frank on Fritz Pfeffer as recorded in her diary on December 22, 1942. 'I couldn't do otherwise. I had to help them; they were my friends. I never told my wife anything, she was very ill.

I didn't want to worry her and so I couldn't talk about it at home. For the people in hiding, their lives changed completely. They had to be completely silent, especially during the day. But for us helpers too it was a tense, frightening time. Our greatest fear was that the hiding place would be discovered.

I had to put on a good 'act' in front of Otto Frank's former business partners, customers and the neighbors. ' - Victor Kugler in an interview after the war on why he helped. 'Our dear Mr. Kleiman had never been really very healthy. He was always dogged by a sensitive stomach ache, which had been getting worse and worse. He'd begun to bleed internally, and his doctor had sent him to bed, with the hope that good rest and less pressure would help the situation.

Everyone in Amsterdam was living under pressure and anxiety with burning anger; little did the doctor realize that Kleiman, concerned deeply for the safety of our friends in hiding, had been carrying around an extra load of tension, responsibility and pressure.' - Miep Gies on Johannes Kleiman in Anne Frank Remembered.
