COT: today marks the anniversary of Anne Frank’s diary being published in 1947. It struck me that she was only 13 when her family was forced to move into a very small room where they stayed hidden for over 2 years- never able to go outdoers and were required to stay quiet with no use of a bathroom throughout the day. As people were working in the building for the fear of Discovery. It struck me just how horrible those conditions were. And here is this young girl and her family having to deal with such horrible conditions at such a terrible time in our history. Eventually the family that was caring for them was arrested and shortly after her family was discovered and sent to the concentration camps in 1944.. More to the story is that her father by Otto survived and was liberated from Auschwitz. He knew at that time that his wife had died, but he did not know that his two daughters had perished before him and a completely different camp- they passed the spring of 1945 from typhus- just 4 or 5 months before the end of the war in Europe. And it’s a good reminder to all of us just how fortunate we are to live relative safety and out of harm during such tumultuous times. Unable to speak or move, use the bathroom or just endure the horrible conditions with no air conditioning or other comforts of a home that we currently enjoy knowing that any day could be your last day- and to have that happen. Happen people that were so young and had yet to even begin their life really strikes me- and an important reminder ashe think about or complain how hot it is or how difficult your day is- many have suffered much more and have suffered a much worse fate and is important to give thanks to God for all that we have today.
