“There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires” -Nelson Mandela. This quote perfectly sums up the whole Anne Frank story and countless others in the Holocaust. It is incredible what these people went through just to return back to their past realities; such as hiding in a cramped Annex for two years.
