ive asked myself again and again whether it wouldnt have been better if we hadnt gone into hiding; if we were dead now and didnt have to go through this misery; especially so that the others could be spared the burden。 but we all shrink from this thought。 we still love life; we havent yet forgotten the voice of nature; and we keep hoping; hoping for。 。 。 everything。

let something happen soon; even an air raid。 nothing can be more crushing than this anxiety。 let the end e; however cruel; at least then well know whether we are to be the victors or the vanquished。

dearest kitty;

saturday; sunday; monday and tuesday it was too hot to hold my fountain pen; which is why i couldnt write to you。 friday the drains were clogged; saturday they were fixed。 mrs。 kleiman came for a visit in the afternoon and told us a lot about jopiej she and jacque van maarsen are in the same hockey club。 sunday bep dropped by to make sure there hadnt been a break…in and stayed for breakfast。 monday (a holiday because of pentecost); mr。 gies served as the annex watchman; and tuesday we were finally allowed to open the windows。 weve seldom had a pentecost weekend that was so beautiful and warm。 or maybe 〃hot〃 is a better word。 hot weather is horrible in the annex。 to give you an idea of the numerous plaints; ill briefly describe these sweltering days。

saturday: 〃wonderful; what fantastic weather;〃 we all said in the morning。 〃if only it

werent quite so hot;〃 we said in the afternoon; when the windows had to be shut。

sunday: 〃the heats unbearable; the butters melt… ing; theres not a cool spot anywhere in the house; the breads drying out; the milks going sour; the windows cant be opened。 we poor outcasts are suffocating while everyone else is enjoying their pentecost。〃 (according to mrs。 van d。)

monday: 〃my feet hurt; i have nothing cool to wear; i cant do the dishes in this heat!〃 grumbling from early in the morning to late at night。 it was awful。

i cant stand the heat。 im glad the winds e up today; but that the suns still shining。

yours; anne

j dear kitty;

〃if youre going to the attic; take an umbrella with you; preferably a large one!〃 this is to protect you from 〃household showers。〃 theres a dutch proverb: 〃high and dry; safe and sound;〃 but it obviously doesnt apply to wartime (guns!) and to people in hiding (cat box!)。 mouschis gotten into the habit of relieving herself on some newspapers or between the cracks in the floor boards; so we have good reason to fear the splatters and; even worse; the stench。 the new moortje in the warehouse has the same problem。 anyone whos ever had a cat thats not housebroken can imagine the smells; other than pepper and thyme; that permeate this house。

i also have a brand…new prescription for gunfire jitters: when the shooting gets loud; proceed to the nearest wooden staircase。 run up and down a few times; making sure to stumble at least once。 what with the scratches and the noise of running and falling; you wont even be able to hear the shooting; much less worry about it。 yours truly has put this magic formula to use; with great success!

yours; anne

monday; june 5; 1944

dearest kitty;

new problems in the annex。 a quarrel between dussel and the franks over the

division of butter。 capitulation on the part of dussel。 close friendship between the latter and mrs。 van daan; flirtations; kisses and friendly little smiles。 dussel is beginning to long for female panionship。

the van daans dont see why we should bake a spice cake for mr。 kuglers birthday when we cant have one ourselves。 all very petty。 mood upstairs: bad。 mrs。 van d。

has a cold。 dussel caught with brewers yeast tablets; while weve got none。

the fifth army has taken rome。 the city neither destroyed nor bombed。 great propaganda for hitler。

very few potatoes and vegetables。 one loaf of bread was moldy。

scharminkeltje (name of new warehouse cat) cant stand pepper。 she sleeps in the cat box and does her business in the wood shavings。 impossible to keep her。

bad weather。 continuous bombing of pas de calais and the west coast of france。

no one buying dollars。 gold even less interesting。

the bottom of our black moneybox is in sight。 what are we going to live on next month?

yours; anne

tuesday; june 6; 1944

my dearest kitty;

〃this is d day;〃 the bbc announced at twelve。

〃this is the day。〃 the invasion has begun!

this morning at eight the british reported heavy bombing of calais; boulogne; le havre and cherbourg; as well as pas de calais (as usual)。 further; as a precautionary measure for those in the occupied territories; everyone living within a zone of twenty miles from the coast was warned to prepare for bombardments。 where possible; the british will drop pamphlets an hour ahead of time。

according to the german news; british paratroopers have landed on the coast of france。 〃british landing craft are engaged in bat with german naval units;〃

according to the bbc。

conclusion reached by the annex while breakfasting at nine: this is a trial landing; like the one two years ago in dieppe。

bbc broadcast in german; dutch; french and other languages at ten: the invasion has begun! so this is the 〃real〃 invasion。 bbc broadcast in german at eleven: speech by supreme mander general dwight eisenhower。

bbc broadcast in english: 〃this is 0 day。〃 general eisenhower said to the french people: 〃stiff fighting will e now; but after this the victory。 the year 1944 is the year of plete victory。 good luck!鈥

bbc broadcast in english at one: 11;000 planes are shuttling back and forth or standing by to land troops and bomb behind enemy lines; 4;000 landing craft and small boats are continually arriving in the area between cher… bourg and le havre。 english and american troops are already engaged in heavy bat。 speeches by gerbrandy; the prime minister of belgium; king haakon of norway; de gaulle of france; the king of england and; last but not least; churchill。

a huge motion in the annex! is this really the beginning of the long…awaited liberation? the liberation weve all talked so much about; which still seems too good; too much of a fairy tale ever to e true? will this year; 1944; bring us victory? we dont know yet。 but where theres hope; theres life。 it fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again。 well need to be brave to endure the many fears and hardships and the suffering yet to e。 its now a matter of remaining calm and steadfast; of gritting our teeth and keeping a stiff upper lip! france; russia; italy; and even germany; can cry out in agony; but we dont yet have that right!

oh; kitty; the best part about the invasion is that i have the feeling that friends are on the way。 those terrible germans have oppressed and threatened us for so long that the thought of friends and salvation means everything to us! now its not just the jews; but holland and all of occupied europe。 maybe; margot says; i can even go back to school in october or september。

yours; anne 

m。 frank

p。s。 ill keep you informed of the latest news!

this morning and last night; dummies made of straw and rubber were dropped from the air behind german lines; and they exploded the minute they hit the ground。 many

paratroopers; their faces blackened so they couldnt be seen in the dark; landed as well。 the french coast was bombarded with 5;500 tons of bombs during the night; and then; at six in the morning; the first landing craft came ashore。 today there were 20;000 airplanes in action。 the german coastal batteries were destroyed even before the landing; a small bridgehead has already been formed。 everythings going well; despite the bad weather。 the army and the people are 〃one will and one hope。鈥

friday; june 9; 1944

dearest kitty;

great news of the invasion! the allies have taken bayeux; a village on the coast of france; and are now fighting for caen。 theyre clearly intending to cut off the peninsula where cherbourg is located。 every evening the war correspondents report on the difficulties; the courage and the fighting spirit of the army。 to get their stories; they pull off the most amazing feats。 a few of the wounded who are already back in england also spoke on the radio。 despite the miserable weather; the planes are flying dthgently back and forth。 we heard over the bbc that churchill wanted to land along with the troops on d day; but eisenhower and the other generals managed to talk him out of it。 just imagine; so much courage for such an old man he must be at least seventy!

the excitement here has died down somewhat; still; were all hoping that the war will finally be over by the end of the year。 its about time! mrs。 van daans constant griping is unbearable; now that she can no longer drive us crazy with the invasion; she moans and groans all day about the bad weather。 if only we could plunk her down in the loft in a bucket of cold water!

everyone in the annex except mr。 van daan and peter has read the hunaarian rhapsody trilogy; a biography of the poser; piano virtuoso and child prodigy franz liszt。 its very interesting; though in my opinion theres a bit too much emphasis on women; liszt was not only the greatest and most famous pianist of his time; he was also the biggest womanizer; even at the age of seventy。 he had an affair with countess marie d agoult; princess carolyne sayn… wittgenstein; the dancer lola montez; the pianist agnes kingworth; the pianist sophie menter; the circassian princess olga janina; baroness olga meyen… dorff; actress lilla whats…her…name; etc。; etc。; and theres no end to it。 those parts of the book dealing with music and the other arts are much more interesting。 some of the people mentioned are schumann; clara wieck; hector berlioz; johannes brahms; beethoven; joachim; richard wagner; hans von bulow; anton rubinstein; frederic chopin; victor hugo; honore de balzac; hiller; hummel; czerny; rossini; cherubini; paganini; mendels… sohn; etc。; etc。

liszt appears to have been a decent man; very generous and modest; though exceptionally vain。 he helped others; put art a
