From the comments:

World War Two
1 day ago
I first read Anne Frank’s Diary when I was thirteen years old — the same age as Anne when she began keeping it. I already knew a lot about this war, and the horrors of it, but reading the words of someone my own age who experienced it for real opened up new doors in my consciousness. As I read her eloquent, thoughtful, sometimes banal, but always so personal writing she became a virtual friend. A girl I would have liked to know in real life, I might even say that I had slightly romantic feelings for her. All the more bitter were my tears when her diary abruptly ended, and the full impact of the end of her life struck me. I knew what was coming, and yet the emptiness of pages that simply stopped coming hit me like a freight train. And still, forty years later I get the same feeling when I return to her. It is a hole in my heart that carry with gratitude and admiration for her courage and fortitude to have documented the unimaginable pain of becoming an adult far too early, only to never reach adulthood at all. I still cry a lot when we meet, but my tears have gone from angered desperation, to anguished gratitude for helping me to never forget.
