Alternative Diary Entry
By Sophie / Spinebreakers Crew
My pulse is still beating from yesterday afternoons terrible occurrence. Nazi Germans in the Annexe! Nobody dared to make a sound, move a muscle or even glance around. Everybody stayed in place for at least six hours until it was confirmed that the Nazi's had dispersed. Mrs van daan surprisingly didn't make a fuss about needing the toilet. She would of had us all murdered. I just don't know what it is. All my bad feelings of war and being captured have been flushed away. I have an optimism about the War ending and a salvation to all the tortured and trapped Jews that are under threat. I can feel the excitment pulsing through my veins. The hope of freedom and new life. Everything will be different once we leave here. IF we leave here. I look back through you 'Kitty' and that was such a negative thing. But now I see it as such a wonderful thing. We can look back on our hiding as an incredible thing. We escaped the grasping hands of the Germans. We escaped Hitler. But then it could all be a dream. If the Germans win, Hitler will take control. ALL Jews wiped out. A pure country. Father and Mother....Gone..Forever. I do love Mother. Deep down. Of course I do. Being here has made me a part of everyone. I've opened myself u-
There is so much shouting! I cannot make out if it is excited, angry, ecstatic or arguing from the Van daans. I can hear footsteps now. They are coming closer.
'Anne! ANNE! It’s incredible! Oh God! Oh God! Anne, It's the war! It's over Anne, we've done it!' Peter shouts. I can hear laughs and cries of joy from the other room. I don't ask what we've done. I knew it already as fresh tears rolled down my cheekbones. The Jews were free. The Jews were free. My family were safe. My friends. Germany. Excitement pulsed through me and a scream never so strong echoed from my body of utter joy and freedom....
I cannot believe that Germany is free. I have so much to celebrate. I will come back to you soon my darling Kitty.
Yours, Anne x x
