 | 超越時空的日記
安妮•法蘭克並沒有白白死去。
第二次世界大戰在歐洲是一個淒涼的事件，尤其對於猶太人而言。在 1940 年代的前五年，德國的納粹政府殺害了約莫六百萬名猶太人。大多數人永遠都默默無聞，但一位名叫安妮•法蘭克的少女將她的磨難和人生觀寫在日記裡頭。
法蘭克一家人於 1933 年離開德國前往荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹，他們希望能遠離納粹黨。不幸的是，納粹黨於 1940 年五月佔據了荷蘭，使得這一家人受困在當地。到了 1942 年七月，猶太人從荷蘭被載往集中營並遭到有計劃地殺害。法蘭克一家人無處可逃，因此他們躲進一棟房子的幾個小房間裡，這裡也是這位父親過去向來工作的地方。一個巨型書櫃遮掩住通往他們藏匿處的入口。兩年後，法蘭克一家人被驅逐至死亡集中營。那位父親是家中唯一的倖存者。
戰爭結束後，法蘭克先生回到阿姆斯特丹並發現了女兒的日記。他把這本日記以《安妮的日記》為名出版，該書從此之後被翻譯成多種語言。法蘭克是一位才華洋溢的作家，世人將永遠銘記她的故事。這一家人曾經藏身的安妮•法蘭克之家依然聳立，它已成為法蘭克一家人和受到迫害的歐洲猶太人的紀念館。每年都有將近一百萬名遊客進入那間房子，見證某段人類歷史上最黑暗的時光。
