Thanks for your review of the Anne Frank diary.

If I may I would like to suggestion you consider reading another diary or memoir of Sam Braun. Sam was a French teenager rounded up in Paris and then imprisoned in the Auschwitz. He survived the Nazi Death March. He returned to Paris and rebuilt his life married and became a medical professional.

He was unable to speak even to his own children about either horrific experiences till the 1990's. As he said", not a soul would have believed me, so I kept quiet.

From the mid 1990's till his death in 2011 he talked to thousands of school students about many topics including surviving barbarity and the many lessons he learnt.

His work is carried on by his children and grandchildren via a website www.lesenfantsdessam.fr

As well his thoughts were published in book from by the French Albin Michel in 2008.

In 2022 Sam's thoughts were translated into English and published by Real Published. The book can be purchased online. A portion of the sale proceeds of this book goes toward the Foundation that continues this education process about the events before during and after the Shoah and the duty of Remembrance.

If you are interested to read and review this book with your Rational thoughts, I could even order a copy to be posted to you.

Thanks for listening......Anthony based in Melbourne Australia
