I've never been a huge fan of Anne Frank. Is that terrible to say? It is isn't it. It's definitely not politically correct to say that you don't really like a holocaust victim. I remember in 3rd grade my mom had to rent the video made from the book so that I could finish my book report because I refused to read any further. It's something about her crush on Peter or how Auguste van Pels is so rude to everyone that I don't like.
Anyway, despite my personal feelings, the overall story told by Anne in her diary is a lesson in charity, hope, and faith in the ultimate good of man. That is something that I can get on board with. I agree with Anne, I believe that people are really good at heart. If Anne can see that living in a tiny, cramped, annex of an office building with 8 other people, then it should be pretty easy for the rest of us to see it as well.
