Ann Frank's birthday

I can't even fathom that life

It's "Anne". Show some respect. 

June 12: Anne Frank's birthday

It is really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions, and yet, if I look into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.

I visited her house in Amsterdam, it is a museum now.   I would recommend a visit if you're ever in the area.  My father lived through those times in The Hague. 

is the tree still standing or did it die?

Is there a birthday show? ;)

I visited her house, too. A must-see. 

I think the tree died but it's clones are growing in different places.
