The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank

I expect that the Trump regime will mean books like Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl will disappear from American libraries, schools and bookstores. But MAGA morons are okay with that. They want to rewrite history and live in denial of what they voted for. I’m disgusted with the people in my life who voted for Trump, again, for selfish, ignorant reasons.

Anne Frank was 13 when she went into hiding with her family and four other people. It was eight people in small rooms, hidden behind a bookcase in a factory. They called their hiding place The Secret Annex and they survived there for two years, unable to go outside, even for a minute, because the risk of being seen and captured was extremely high.

(While I’m writing my review here, about to start the next paragraph, my brother sent me this: “Demonstrators wave Nazi flags outside local theater performance of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ in Michigan”. That was last night, in Michigan, where I’ve lived all my life. They shouted “Heil Hitler! Heil Trump!” MAGA morons, this is what you voted for, and you know it.)

They had to hide simply because they were Jewish. I think most people know that the Gestapo eventually found them. All eight of the Secret Annex residents were sent to concentration camps, where everyone except Anne’s father, Otto, died.

I thought I would have a better review, one with better flow, but I’m too angry. Nazi Germany happened because people supported Hitler for all the same reasons people are supporting Trump.
