And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown,

A land of deepest shade,
Unpierced by human thought,
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot?

Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be:

Waked by the trumpet's sound!
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!

And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!

>I'll be doing these now for every entry she wrote on the exact day and month, 77 years later. Check in on June 14th for the next one. Today was her birthday. She was born on June 12th, 1929. She would have been 90 if she had not died in the Bergen-belsen Nazi concentration camp.

You're a good lad. Here's a song that reminds me of her.

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown,

A land of deepest shade,
Unpierced by human thought,
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot?

Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be:

Waked by the trumpet's sound!
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!

And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!

Anne wasn't a Christian but I'd like to imagine that she'd appreciate the sentiments.

A girl who I had a crush on in high school died a year after she graduated from mixing booze and barbiturates at a college party or something. She stopped breathing and died by the time the police arrived. My family made a memorial quilt for hers. Even seven years later, it's still sits on their couch in almost perfect condition.

idk what else to write about it.

>a few days later
>Anne (still pregnant) and Peter have hiding in the woods for the last several days to avoid being caught up in the fighting. But no matter where they go, bullets wind up flying and artillery rains on them. The two witness the horrifying aftermath of several battles and even wind up being caught up in one themselves where both sides are reduced to hand-to-hand combat. She notices how these new soldiers fight like savages and even the fearsome Waffen-SS seem terrified of them.
>they accidentally stumble into an artillery camp the Allied soldiers had set up
>the sentries, who are nervous and inexperienced artillery crewmen rather than seasoned infantrymen, immediately become suspicious of Peter (on account of him being military age, speaking broken English with a German accent, and wearing one of their Army's coats) and start aggressively questioning him
>Anne and Peter try to explain that they're Jews but the language barrier and lack of an interpreter prevents it
>the soldiers are on the verge of detaining Peter when they're stopped by an officer who invites Anne and Peter to come to his tent
>the most gentleman-like officer to their surprise starts speaking to them in fluent German, introducing himself as "Captain Foote" and that he works for military intelligence (usually questioning German prisoners and the like)
> Foote serves them sweet tea, (which Anne has never tasted before) and explains that he had previously heard about the deportation of Jews while stationed in France
>he offers to let them spend the night in his tent, give them fresh clothes and a pass allowing them to travel freely through Allied lines, and to have a doctor look at Anne in exchange for an interview
>Anne and Peter, both still traumatized by recent events, are initially hesitant, but agree to tell their story after Foote reveals to them that he is Jewish himself
>hours pass
>horrified by their description of the mistreatment of Dutch Jews, Foote tells them that he will open a formal Army investigation into the matter
>Anne turns her diary over to Captain Foote as evidence, who dismisses them as he’s expecting a group of German prisoners to arrive shortly
>Anne and Peter spend the rest of the day wandering around the camp. Watching soldiers go about their daily routine, officers planning the day’s battles, and even a church service where to her surprise, Catholic, Protestant, and even a few Jewish soldiers are all seen praying together and blessed by the same chaplain. Anne notices that the soldiers come from a deeply conservative culture and often look at her and Peter with mild disapproval but nonetheless treat them as guests. Speaking with the upmost courtesy and politeness. A far cry from the desperation-induced disrespect of the Dutch and the outright bullying of the Germans.
