“In spite of everything,I still believe that people are really good at heart”

“Where there’s hope,there’s life.It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”

The diary of an only 14-year-old one when her life was taking a turn from childhood to adulthood. An adolescent stage when many of us have made lots of wrong decisions and might have felt a peek of ambiguity in life. But it was different for her, she had her strong opinion, and she was never afraid to voice it despite an awareness of audience responses.

She always knew ,what she wanted from life. She was an ambitious girl and dreamt of becoming a journalist. Unfortunately, her beautiful dream shattered and lost somewhere in the darkness of hiding. Hiding for 2 years from the world. The terrifying story to tell.

The story of darkness. The darkness that was spread everywhere in their lives in the 6 million Jews’s present, past, and despaired future. The book provides glimpses into Anne Frank’s life when she was hiding. It gives an intimate view of her thoughts, feelings, emotions, and experiences as a teenager facing extraordinary circumstances.Her ability to write down her thoughts made her different from others. Different from the other 6 million people whose identity was just wiped out like that sand around a seashore where waves come and take them along with in friction of seconds. Yes, 6 million, a huge count to put in the Holocaust of World War 2. Why? Just because they have taken birth in a Jewish family. Was it really a crime? Was it really fair to holocaust them on the basis of their religion or culture?

I am thankful to God that we were born in a better time and place, but there is still a big question in my mind. How long are we going to be shackled by religions and castes? Over the period of time, these chains seem rusted and loosened, and it is easier to make ourselves free from them. Yet how long are we going to take to free ourselves and live with these rusty chains? When the day will arise? When will we all, India and this whole world, become completely secular?
