friday察january 28察1944

dearest kitty

in recent weeks ive developed a great liking for family trees and the genealogical tables of royal families。 ive e to the conclusion that once you begin your search察you have to keep digging deeper and deeper into the past察which leads you to even more interesting discoveries。

although im extremely diligent when it es to my schoolwork and can pretty much follow the bbc home service on the radio察i still spend many of my sundays sorting out and looking over my movie´star collection察which has grown to a very respectable size。 mr。 kugler makes me happy every monday by bringing me a copy of cinema & theater magazine。 the less worldly members of our household often refer to this small indulgence as a waste of money察yet they never fail to be surprised at how accurately i can list the actors in any given movie察even after a year。 bep察who often goes to the movies with her boyfriend on her day off察tells me on saturday the name of the show theyre going to see察and i then proceed to rattle off the names of the leading actors and actresses and the reviews。 moms recently remarked 察that i wouldnt need to go to the movies later on察because 

i know all the plots察the names of the stars and the reviews by heart。

whenever i e sailing in with a new hairstyle察i i can read the disapproval on their faces察and i can be sure someone will ask which movie star im trying to imitate。 my reply察that its my own invention察is greeted with ~ skepticism。 as for the hairdo察it doesnt hold its set for ~ more than half an hour。 by that time im so sick and tired i of their remarks that i race to the bathroom and restore my hair to its normal mass of curls。

dearest kitty

this morning i was wondering whether you ever felt like a cow察having to chew my stale news over and over again until youre so fed up with the monotonous fare that you yawn and secretly wish anne would dig up something new。

sorry察i know you find it dull as ditchwater察but imagine how sick and tired i am of hearing the same old stuff。 if the talk at mealtime isnt about politics or good food察then mother or mrs。 van d。 trot out stories about their childhood that weve heard a thousand times before察or dussel goes on and on about beautiful racehorses察his charlottes extensive wardrobe察leaky rowboats察boys who can swim at the age of four察aching muscles and frightened patients。 it all boils down to this此whenever one of the eight of us opens his mouth察the other seven can finish the story for him。 we know the punch line of every joke before it gets told察so that whoevers telling it is left to laugh alone。 the various milkmen察grocers and butchers of the two former housewives have been praised to the skies or run into the ground so many times that in our imaginations theyve grown as old as methuselah察theres absolutely no chance of anything new or fresh being brought up for discussion in the annex。

still察all this might be bearable if only the grown´ups werent in the habit of repeating the stories we hear from mr。 kleiman察jan or miep察each time embellishing them with a few details of their own察so that i often have to pinch my arm under the table to keep myself from setting the enthusiastic storyteller on the right track。 little children察such as anne察must never察ever correct their elders察no matter how many blunders they make or how often they let their imaginations run away with them。

jan and mr。 kleiman love talking about people who have gone underground or into hiding察they know were eager to hear about others in our situation and that we truly sympathize with the sorrow of those whove been arrested as well as the joy of prisoners whove been freed。

going underground or into hiding has bee as routine as the proverbial pipe and slippers that used to await the man of the house after a long day at work。 there are many resistance groups察such as free netherlands察that forge identity cards察provide financial support to those in hiding察organize hiding places and find work for young christians who go underground。 its amazing how much these generous and unselfish

people do察risking their own lives to help and save others。

the best example of this is our own helpers察who have managed to pull us through so far and will hopefully bring us safely to shore察because otherwise theyll find themselves sharing the fate of those theyre trying to protect。 never have they uttered a single word about the burden we must be察never have they plained that were too much trouble。 they e upstairs every day and talk to the men about business and politics察to the women about food and wartime difficulties and to the children about books and newspapers。 they put on their most cheerful expressions察bring flowers and gifts for birthdays and holidays and are always ready to do what they can。

thats something we should never forget察while others display their heroism in battle or against the germans察our helpers prove theirs every day by their good spirits and affection。

the most bizarre stories are making the rounds察yet most of them are really true。 for instance察mr。 kleiman reported this week that a soccer match was held in the province of gelderland察one team consisted entirely of men who had gone underground察and the other of eleven military policemen。 in hilversum察new registration cards were issued。

in order for the many people in hiding to get their rations you have to show this card to obtain your ration book or else pay 60 guilders a book察the registrar asked all those hiding in that district to pick up their cards at a specified hour察when the documents could be collected at a separate table。

all the same察you have to be careful that stunts like these dont reach the ears of the germans。

yours察anne 

sunday察january 30察1944

my dearest kit察another sunday has rolled around察i dont mind them as much as i did in the beginning察but theyre boring enough。

i still havent gone to the warehouse yet察but maybe sometime soon。 last night i went downstairs in the dark察all by myself察after having been there with father a few nights before。 i stood at the top of the stairs while german planes flew back and forth察and i knew i was on my own察that i couldnt count on others for support。 my fear vanished。

i looked up at the sky and trusted in god。

i have an intense need to be alone。 father has noticed im not my usual self察but i cant tell him whats bothering me。 all i want to do is scream ;let me be察leave me alone≠

who knows察perhaps the day will e when im left alone more than id like

FEBRUARY察1944

thursday察february 3察1944

dearest kitty

invasion fever is mounting daily throughout the country。 if you were here察im sure youd be as impressed as i am at the many preparations察though youd no doubt laugh at all the fuss were making。 who knows察it may all be for nothing

the papers are full of invasion news and are driving everyone insane with such statements as此 in the event of a british landing in holland察the germans will do what they can to defend the country察even flooding it察if necessary。; theyve published maps of holland with the potential flood areas marked。 since large portions of amsterdam were shaded in察our first question was what we should do if the water in the streets rose to above our waists。 this tricky question elicited a variety of responses

;itll be impossible to walk or ride a bike察so well have to wade through the water。

;dont be silly。 well have to try and swim。 well all put on our bathing suits and caps and swim underwater as much as we can察so nobody can see were jews。

;oh察baloney i can just imagine the ladies swimming with the rats biting their legs≠

that was a man察of course察well see who screams loudest。

;we wont even be able to leave the house。 the warehouse is so unstable itll collapse if theres a flood。

;listen察everyone察all joking aside察we really ought to try and get a boat。

;why bother拭i have a better idea。 we can each take a packing crate from the attic and row with a wooden spoon。

;im going to walk on stilts。 i used to be a whiz at it when i was young。;

;jan gies wont need to。 hell let his wife ride piggyback察and then miep will be on stilts。

so now you have a rough idea of whats going on察dont you察kit拭this lighthearted banter is all very amusing察but reality will prove otherwise。 the second question about the invasion was bound to arise此what should we do if the germans evacuate amsterdam

;leave the city along with the others。 disguise ourselves as well as we can。

;whatever happens察dont go outside the best thing to do is to stay put the germans are capable of herding the entire population of holland into germany察where theyll all die。

;of course well stay here。 this is the safest place。

well try to talk kleiman and his family into ing here to live with us。 well somehow get hold of a bag of wood shavings察so we can sleep on the fl
