readit@mastodon.socialAnne Frank (June 12, 1929 – February 1945) for her thirteenth birthday received a diary. She began to write about her life, the people around her, short stories — even a novel.
She dreamed of becoming a writer.
War left us only her diary.
It stole the girl, the books she never wrote, and the life she should have had.

@readit @bookstodon Thank you for the invitation to remember.
Just a detail: "War" didn't do it. The Franks were living underground in Netherlands at the time they were arrested and sent to death. Netherlands wasn't at war with Germany and they were no military target. It was Nazi Germany murdering in occupied territory.
Btw. I loved the book of Lola Lafon about the Anna Frank Museum.
