2. Peace is more than the absence of war. It is a
way to recognize the nobility (decency) of the human
spirit in all of us, to live harmoniously with our
neighbors, and others in this world. Thus, we can help
create peaceful communities by focusing on how we
interact (relate) with our families, our neighbors, and
our fellow students. Living like this, we shall
strengthen community spirit, working together to
bridge gaps. We learn to reach out towards fostering
(nurturing) understanding and living all together in
peace throughout the world.

4. Adolf Hitler, the dictator who ruled Germany from
1933 to 1945, dreamed of a world empire led by a “master race.”
Part of Hitler’s plan involved the extermination of all European
Jews in what was termed the final solution to the Jewish problem.
Despite being defeated by the Allied Powers – led by the United
States, The United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union – Hitler and
his Nazi war machine left behind a terrible legacy. By the time
World War II ended in 1945, over six million Jews had been
murdered, as well as six million Gypsies, Slavs, and Poles.
When Hitler’s war machine overran the Netherlands
in 1940, Jews living there were subjected to increased restrictions.
Soon, Jews were rounded up and shipped to
concentration camps, where most of them died of starvation or
were killed in gas chambers. Among the Jewish families affected
by Hitler’s tyranny were the Franks, a German Jewish family had
fled to the Netherlands in 1933. When Margot Frank was called
to report “for work in the East,” the Franks knew, they must go
into hiding.

11. DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL
There’s in people simply an urge to
destroy, an urge to kill, to murder and rage, and
until all mankind, without exception, undergoes
a great change, wars will be waged, everything
that has been built up, cultivated and grown,
will be destroyed and disfigured, after which
mankind will have to begin all over again.

Dear Kitty,
I don’t think of all the misery, of the beauty that still remains. This is one
of the things that Mummy and I are so entirely different about. Her counsel when
one feels melancholy is: “Think of all the misery in the world and be thankful you are
not sharing in it!” My advice is: “Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the
sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all
the beauty that’s still left in and around you and be happy!”
I don’t see how Mummy’s idea can be right, because then, how are you
supposed to behave if you go through the misery yourself? Then, you are lost. On the
contrary, I’ve found that there is always some beauty left - in
nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these
things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance.
And whoever is happy will make others happy, too. He who has courage
and faith will never perish in misery!
Yours,
ANNE

... we often ask ourselves here despairingly: “What, oh, what is the
use of the war? Why can’t people live peacefully together? Why all these
destruction?” The question is very understandable, but no one has found a
satisfactory answer to it so far. Yes, why do they make still more gigantic
planes, still heavier bombs and, at the same time, prefabricated houses for
reconstruction? Why should millions be spent daily on the war and yet
there’s not a penny available for medical services, artists, or for poor
people?...Oh, why are people so crazy?
...in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at
heart. I simply can’t build up hopes on a foundation consisting of
confusion, misery and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a
wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy
us, too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into
heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will
end, and that peace and tranquility will return again
