So, as I said on the 'Who voted for Hitler" thread, I just started reading this book. I've had it for years, but always found something else to read instead. This time, through series of coincidences that I took as signs :P , I took it off the bookstand and started reading it.

It's just so amazing that a 12-year-old girl had such an insight into the world around her. I haven't got far yet. They've just moved out of their own house and have gone into hiding. Plus I have to keep telling myself that it's a true story, that it really happened. And that there were just so many similar stories

Has anyone visited the hiding place, which currently houses the Museum? Maybe some of the Dutchies here have. I'd love to hear how you liked it. I'd like to visit there and pay my respects.

What's sad is the fact that the person that betrayed them has never been identified and could have been just about anyone. What's even sadder is the fact that both Holland and Bergen-Belsen, the concentration camp where Anne and her sister were sent to, were both "taken" by the British troops shortly after they left / died

So, opinions on the book / story/ museum?
