I am watching the mini series Anne Frank. It tell the true story of the famous girl Anne Frank and what happened to her and her family. It tells of her life before and after she went into hiding got the diary and was found by the Nazis. Every time I see this movie it makes me sad that they could do this so someone just because of who and what they are. Anne Frank was a normal young girl with normal girl problems, but her world was turned upside down when the war came to her town. She and her family were forced to go into hiding to try and stay save. After many years they were found and put into the camps where they all died. The only one that survived was Otto Frank. He had to live with the fact that all his family was dead and gone.

Anne frank makes you think how people can do this to other people just because of who and what they are. So my question has anyone met someone who had to go thought what Anne did?

I met Kitty Hart Moxon who along with her mother survived Auschwitz, She is still alive today and holds regular educational talks at the Retford Holocaust Memorial Centre.

Her book is very moving, She went into Aushwitz aged 15 and struggled to survive. Poignantly she says the only time she cried was when she was ordered to help throw the naked bodies of her dead friends onto a wagon.

I went to Bergen Belsen in Germany where there is a headstone for Anne Frank, it's a creepy place. There is a journal entry of mine on here somewhere about it.

I am hoping to get out to Auschwitz this October.

Do you have a specific interest in the holocaust? Family? Or you just find it a very important part of history?

My Granddad died when my father was only two in Germany. My dad always had a massive fascination with the second world war and my home was full of books and video's. As a child naturally I wasn't interested but as an adult it has moved me a great deal.

I took History at school to learn more but was dissapointed to learn it was never on he curriculum.

I can't honestly remember when my real interest in the subject started.

I see a lot of relevance from what happened to modern day intolerance and racism. People are always shocked at what really happened but I can see how it did and even more frightening how it could happen again, all be it slightly more subtle.
