Hanukkah is being celebrated this week, and so did Anne Frank in 1942 while being in hiding. #Onthisday December 7, 1942 she wrote: 'Hanukkah and St. Nicholas Day nearly coincided this year; they were only one day apart. We didn't make much of a fuss with Hanukkah, merely exchanging a few small gifts and lighting the candles. Since candles are in short supply, we lit them for only ten minutes, but as long as we sing the song, that doesn't matter. Mr. Van Daan made a menorah out of wood, so that was taken care of too.'
Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah!

3. what happened to her was heartbreaking. I remember seeing the play in New York. That last scene, when she and her family

were discovered, after you hoped she would survive until the liberators got there in the last days of the Nazis control in Amsterdam, just a few days before the liberation of the city, she and her family were betrayed and the Nazis found them, was utterly painful.

5. I went through her house last year

That was utterly painful, too.

I have never understood why people are so cruel to other people.
