"One day this terrible war will end, one day we will be human beings again and not just Jews."
Anne Frank once wrote in her diary. She and her family hid from the Nazis in a Secret Annex in Amsterdam during the Second World War. In her diaries, she not only documented everyday life and the challenges of hiding, but also reflected on her personal thoughts, hopes and fears.
Anne Frank's diary entries are a historical testimony to subsequent generations about escape and self-empowerment through writing and language - as the only resistant instrument for her activism.
They represent the legacy of an aspiring writer and are part of world literature. By recording her thoughts, she was able to escape seclusion and the conflicts of isolation.
It is an adolescent's story of courage, humanity and survival that still resonates profoundly today and reminds us to preserve humanity in the midst of the darkest of times.
