Description
The Prinsengracht (Prince's Canal) across from the building where Anne Frank went into hiding with her family on 12th June 1942, and which she was never to see again.
"Ik zal hoop ik aan jou alles kunnen toevertrouwen, zoals ik het nog aan niemand gekund heb, en ik hoop dat je een grote steun voor me zult zijn.
Anne Frank. 12 Juni 1942."
("I will be able - I hope - to entrust you with everything, as I have never been able to do to anyone before, and I hope that you will be a great support to me.
Anne Frank. 12 June 1942." -
The 14-year-old Dutch girl's first words in her diary. She was born in Germany, fled to the Netherlands, and hid from the Gestapo in Amsterdam with her family and others, because they were Jewish. They were eventually arrested and sent to concentration camps to die.)

An avid reader at a very young age, I read Anne Frank's diary long before it was required reading in high school. I was and continue to be as profoundly touched by the world she had to make now as I was then. To view these pictures gives me goose bumps. I think because to view your pictures makes everything real. Like putting a face to the name. You see, we can watch it all on television but there is a certain detachment that comes with it. When you see one's photograph it's more personal. Keeping in mind I had already read the book before the class, what I remember in high school is this. How everyone became quiet, even the boys. The boys would only discuss the book in class, never outside of it. It took me years to figure that one out. I thank you so much for these photo's. They are quite stunning.
