Anne Frank

Com apenas 14 anos, Anne Frank revelou uma imensa sabedoria e um espírito profundamente bondoso, generoso e optimista... ao contrário do que se possa pensar, pelo tempo em que viveu. Em Bergen-Belsen há um monumento em sua homenagem com uma inscrição em hebraico, que diz algo de maravilhoso: "O Espírito do Homem é a Luz do Senhor".

"I don't believe the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago! There's a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder and kill. And until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start all over again!"

"How noble and good everyone could be if, at the end of each day, they were to review their own behaviour and weigh up the rights and wrongs. They would automatically try to do better at the star of each new day and, after a while, would certainly accomplish a great deal"

"It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart!"
